An Acceptable Time
, the final book in Madeleine L'Engle's 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 O'Keefe wanders into a time 3,000 years before her own.
"A rich and heady brew . . . fine fantasy, firmly rooted in reality.'' —
Publisher's 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?
