by Madeleine L'Engle
This series keeps going in weird directions, and I kinda dig it. I don't know how kids today would handle this, but adult me was taken in. 'Many Waters' is set some years before 'Swiftly Tilting Planet', likely the winter after 'A Wind in the Door'. The twins, Sandy and Dennys, are returning from ...
Oh dear... these books are not going to get any better, are they? I continue to read this series because I liked the first book.

They have their own adventure as well, which is handled with the complexity that it deserves. Looking ...

Retelling of the flood from Genesis. Interesting conjecture. (Very good author!)

The book is about 2 teenage twin boys who accidentally touch their father's science project and end up time traveling to a few months before the Great Flood with Noah and company. This was apparently ver...
