Madeleine L’Engle — Many Waters (Time Quintet)

If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — Many Waters (Time Quintet) by Madeleine L’Engle keeps its place in this browser.

A touch of computer keys, a blast of heat, and suddenly the Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys, are gasping in a shimmering desert land. If only the brothers had normal parents, not a scientist mother and a father who experiments with space and time travel. If only the Murry twins had noticed the note on the door of their mother’s lab: Experiment in Progress. Please Keep Out But it’s too late for regrets. There’s a strange – and very small – person approaching, with a miniature mammoth in tow…. 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? ©2007 Madeleine L’Engle (P)2007 Listening Library
