Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Genre: Science Fiction Age Recommended: 16 and up I generally shy away from science fiction books, just because they are usually either very far-fetched, or too drawn-out in an attempt to completely establish another … Continue reading Book Review: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars Age Recommended: 11 and up An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L’Engle was one of my favorites in the quintet. The beginning was a little confusing because the story was set one generation in the future and the main character was Meg and and Calvin’s daughter, Polly, but the rest of the book was extraordinary. The time gate has been opened again at the arrival of Polly O’Keefe. Polly has been at her grandparent’s house for a couple of weeks and her life has followed the same routine. One day, when she steps out to … Continue reading Book Review: An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L’Engle
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 stars Age Recommended: 11 and up Many Waters stands out in the Wrinkle of Time quintet, because the story’s focus is entirely on the Murry twins and there is almost no mention of Meg or Charles Wallace. In this book, there are many fictional creatures but the story felt real all the same. The story takes place during the time of Noah’s Ark and the twins are absolutely sure that they are there to change something. What that is, they don’t know. Sandy and Dennys, the Murry twins, are home alone one time, and in playing … Continue reading Book Review: Many Waters by Madeleine L’Engle
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars Age Recommended: 9 and up A Swiftly Tilting Planet is my favorite book of the quintet so far. In this book, Madeleine L’Engle introduces a number of new characters and the story line is very captivating. The book takes one back in time and the whole concept of “Within” is truly amazing. I loved how the concept of kything from A Wind In The Door was also used in this book. Calvin’s family is portrayed exceptionally well in this book, and his mother is one of the main characters. The story is written so that Mrs.O’Keefe’s history … Continue reading Book Review: A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L’Engle

Rating : 4.9 out of 5 stars Age Recommended : 11 and up Jeremy Fink And The Meaning Of Life is an amazing book about the discoveries of life. Wendy Mass’s message in the book is clearly portrayed: Life is more than just a string of memories. Do you agree? Well, I do. I think that once you make an impact on the world, big or small, you will always be remembered. Life is a chance to make your mark on the world. People will never forget… whether you reunited them with an old friend, or if you saved their life. Jeremy … Continue reading Book Review: Jeremy Fink And The Meaning Of Life by Wendy Mass
