A touch of computer keys, a blast of heat, and suddenly the Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys, are gasping in a shimmering desert land.

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 wonderful story that Ms. L'Engle spins in Many Waters takes the twins, Sandy and Dennys as well as the reader back into ancient times. With a melding of Judeo-Christian theology and fantasy, you are swept into a world that will surprise and delight you. As the fourth of the Time Quartet series, this book was a delight to me soon after it was published in 1986. I still delight in the story and wisdom contained in this "children's book" more than twenty years later. The lesson that "many waters cannot quench love" is one that all people should take to heart. Many Waters by M. L'Engle shows this truth in a beautiful and engaging way.
