Many Waters, April 17 2007
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Many Waters (Paperback)
Many WatersMany Waters was written by Madeleine L'Engle. It's part of a series of four books, two of which I've read, including this one. The book is about two fifteen-year old twin boys named Sandy and Dennys. They live with their brother, sister, and scientist parents. They come home from school one day, and decide that they want some hot chocolate. So they go into their parents' "lab," which is really just a storage room turned into a lab, to get the hot chocolate mix (Don't ask me why they keep hot chocolate mix in a lab). They get distracted by the computer in the room, and start messing with it and typing things like, "Take me someplace warm," (It's extremely cold winter where they live). The computer just happens to be part of one of their dad's experiments, and it takes them back in time a few thousand years to a huge desert where, surprisingly, people live. They walk around for a few minutes, wondering how they could have gotten there, when a very short man sees them. The man then takes them to his camp, where many more people live. Sandy and Dennys spend their time there trying to figure out to get back home.
One of my favorite parts in the book was when Dennys was no longer sick and could finally go outside. I'm not going to tell you why he was sick in the first place, but I'll tell you this: It has a little something to do with the sun, a unicorn, and a garbage dump. Of course, that doesn't help, but you don't want me to give it away, do you?
From a scale of one to ten, I would give this book a nine. I like adventure and mystery stories, and this story is an adventure, so I liked it. Even if you don't like adventure, you'll still like it. It's not like one of those books where the action never stops, but it's not boring either.
So...Since I'm obviously not going to tell you what happens in the rest of the book, you'll have to read it yourself.

mini elephants, July 11 2006
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
i really love this book probably more than any other in the time quartet. its really nice to see some people who aren't insanely smart getting the spotlight. i sometimes get tired of reading about charles wallace's incredible genius and everything that he can only do because he is charles wallace. i like him but enough is enough. sandy and dennys were always in the backround because of their normalness but in this book they become fully developed.i also know that L'Engle does a lot of religion themed books but this was imaginative and enjoyable, not preachy. all in all it was just good light reading. i guess you could say that it gave you a few things to think about but i think it was mostly just entertainment. oh yeah, the mini elephants just made it aclassic in my mind.

Excellent entry into history of Noah, the nephilim, and the seraphim, Jun 26 2006
By Scott O. Hassler - Published on Amazon.com
Excellent story which gives another perspective on man, noah, nephilim and seraphim. Perhaps it really was this way.
