An acceptable time - madeleine l'engle

In this classic novel by a beloved author, Polly OUKeefes visit to her grandparents farm in Connecticut becomes an extraordinary experience as she encounters old friends and mysterious strangers and finds herself traveling back in time to play a crucial role in a prehistoric confrontation.

An Acceptable Time, the final book in Madeleine LEngles Time Quintet, the series that began with the Newbery Award winner A Wrinkle in Time.

While spending time with her grandparents, Alex and Kate Murry, Polly OKeefe wanders into a time 3,000 years before her own.

A rich and heady brew .

fine fantasy, firmly rooted in reality.

--Publishers Weekly Under their feet, the ground seemed to tremble.

A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents farm, Polly sees mist and jagged mountains -- and coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears.

Why has a time gate opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes -- and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice? Praise for An Acceptable Time: When Polly OKeefe visits her grandparents in Connecticut, she finds herself caught up in the lives of three mysterious strangers [who lived] 3,000 years ago [and] travels back in time to play a crucial role in an ancient confrontation.

LEngle has again achieved the award-winning style of A Wrinkle in Time.

Highly recommended.
