Description

In A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle, a companion to the Newbery Award winner A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door, the Murry and O'Keefe Families enlist the help of the unicorn, Gaudior, to save the world from imminent nuclear war.

Fifteen-year-old Charles Wallace and the unicorn Gaudior undertake a perilous journey through time in a desperate attempt to stop the destruction of the world by the mad dictator Madog Branzillo. They are not alone in their quest.

Charles Wallace's sister, Meg--grown and expecting her first child, but still able to enter her brother's thoughts and emotions by "kything"--goes with him in spirit. Charles Wallace must face the ultimate test of his faith and his will as he is sent within four people from another time, there to search for a way to avert the tragedy threatening them all.

    The first two books were stunning, but it was a chore to read the book. I eventually finished it but I took me almost a whole month. When I read it I was in 3rd grade though, so I’d recommend it for older ages.

  • Great Book!

    The books I have read so far in this series have been great, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet does not disappoint. With vivid detail and a great plot line, this book is a must-read.

  • No… I don’t recommend.

    The first two books are great, but this one is like a dull pencil you can’t sharpen anymore.

    The first 2 books in this series were definitely worth reading, but there was something about this book that made so it couldn't hold my attention. I attempted to continue reading and i think it was the randomness, how it kept changing that really got annoying. I eventually stopped reading and simply found another book.

  • Great!
