An Acceptable Time

By: Madeleine L'Engle

Narrated by: Ann Marie Lee

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?

This Commemorative Edition includes a new introduction by the Author.©2007 Madeleine L'Engle; ©2008 Listening Library

I love this series

read all the wrinkle in time books and the O'Keefe books before you read this one. beautifully done. it does the O'Keefe should be reviewed by adult first there are some things you may not to discuss with small children yet. it is a wonderful series.

Not as good as the first three

I read the first three books in this series when I was much younger and really liked them. I decided to re-read all of them plus the last two in the series, which I had never read. I really wish I had stopped after re-reading the first three. The first three books are fantastic--very well-written and enjoyable. The last two books were significant disappointments when compared to the first three. The fourth book was by far the most disappointing, as I addressed in another review. The fifth book is significantly better than the fourth, but it still falls well-short of the quality of the original three.

Polly’s journey through time and the valuable life lessons she learned!

The book is a great read, teaching us compassion for others and the value of human lives!

Beautiful story, well told

I love all of the Madeleine L'Engle books. I listen to them every so often, and they always make me feel happy.

Enjoyable for all ages

timeless story well told that would appeal to all ages who enjoy fantasy, time travel and science fiction. It blends the three seamlessly.
