Many waters - madeleine l'engle

The 15-year-old Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys, are accidentally sent back to a strange biblical time period, in which mythical beasts roam the desert, and a man named Noah is building a boat in preparation for a great flood.

The third book in Madeleine LEngles spellbinding A Wrinkle in Time Quintet.

Another provocative spellbinding tale.

--Philadelphia Inquirer Some things have to be believed to be seen.

Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal, run-of-the-mill ones in the extraodinary Murry family.

They garden, make an occasional A in school, and play baseball.

Nothing especially interesting has happened to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their fathers experiment.

Then the two boys are thrown across time and space.

They find themselves alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can find unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will find them.

The twins are rescued by Japheth, a man from the nearby oasis, but before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost.

Each boy is quickly embroiled in the conflicts of this time and place, whose populations includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts, perilous and beautiful nephilim, and small, long lived humans who consider Sandy and Dennys giants.

The boys find they have more to do in the oasis than simply getting themselves home--they have to reunite an estranged father and son, but it wont be easy, especially when the son is named Noah and hes about to start building a boat in the desert.

Praise for Many Waters: Sandy and Dennys, twins and middle children in the Newbery-winning A Wrinkle in Time, are transported to the time just before the Flood.

This will be enjoyed for its suspense and humor as well as its other levels of meaning.
