DESCRIPTION:
But most people don't have genius parents who just happen to be working on a scientific experiment with time travel at the moment of our wish. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter. In Many Waters, Madeleine L'Engle continues the Murry family saga, which includes A Wrinkle in Time; A Wind in the Door; and A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which won the American Book Award. Even so, the urgent question is, how will Sandy and Dennys get back to their own place and time before the floods--the many waters--come? As they begin to cross the invisible border into adulthood, the twins must confront their ability to resist temptation and embrace integrity. We've all done it. In the frigid depths of winter we've wished we could be magically transported to someplace warm and sunny. Their desperate wandering brings them face-to-face with history--biblical history. Soon they're feeling right at home with Noah and his family. Sandy and Denn
A touch of computer keys, a blast of heat, and suddenly the Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys, are gasping in a shimmering desert land. If only the brothers had normal parents, not a scientist mother and a father who experiments with space and time travel. If only the Murry twins had noticed the note on the door of their mother's lab: Experiment InProgress. Please Keep OutBut it's too late for regrets. There's a strange-and very small-person approaching, with a miniature mammoth in tow.At last it's Sandy and Dennys's turn for an adventure-an adventure that turns serious when they discover that "many waters" are coming to flood the desert. The twins must find a way back home soon, or they will drown. But how will they get back to their own time? Can they?From the Trade Paperback edition.
The fourth book of The Time Quintet, it did not disappoint me. This review is for the Kindle edition ebook.The fourth book of The Time Quintet, it did not disappoint me.The twins seem to have done something wrong, when they touched an experimental computer in the lab. They are sent back in time, way back, to the time of Noah and the Ark.This series is very good. The author does a good job in this book, giving us a chance to see the twins accomplish something quite extraordinary, instead of Charles Wallace and Meg. I like the way the author is able to give us a story about biblical times, without interjecting that it is anything more than fiction. I. A poetic twist on the story of Noah's Ark I have loved Madeleine L'Engle's books since middle school, starting with A Wrinkle In Time. This is a continuation of the O'Keefe family's adventures traveling through space and time, but with twins Sandy and Dennys as the protagonists. By accident they are flung back to Biblical, pre-flood times, where they are taken in by Noah and his family. The story combines spiritual, religious, and scientific themes into a creative narrative about the situation on Earth that led to the building of an Ark. Mythical beings help or sabotage humans, depending on their purpose., and a tender love sto. Son is enjoying this series on ebook. He requested J. Swenson Son is enjoying this series on ebook.
