Summary: An engrossing and touching read.
Review: I started AND BOTH WERE YOUNG because I knew it was about a girl who leaves for school. Since I am about to leave as well(except for college) I thought it would be an interesting read. I was not disappointed.Flip and Paul are beautiful characters, full of doubts and pain. However, in each other they find answers to their doubts and a balm for their pain. Watching their relationship unfold is sweet in every way first loves should be. L'Engle's writing is beautiful and captivating. My mind had little room to wonder. Although the book is classified as young adult, I feel like any age will find it as a great read that can transport them out of their surroundings into the snow-covered country of Switzerland.

Summary: A Short and Sweet Novel
Review: Phillippa (Flip) Hunter has to go to boarding school in Switzerland. It's not as if she wants to, she's being forced to go because her father will be away on trips in China all year with the awful Eunice (who consequently is not that awful.)Flip believes that Eunice is trying to replace her mother, who died the previous year in a car crash, and as such completely dislikes her. Since Flip is being sent to boarding school without her own consent, it is quite normal that she despises it. She never knows how to reply to the girls, she can barely participate in gym due to her stiff knee, and some of the girls find her quite strange. One thing that consoles her is a French boy named Paul who has seemed to have an awful past that he can't remember. (Paul was in concentration camps when he was younger; the book takes place a few years after World War 2.) Flip helps Paul overcome his past, and learn to live in the present. Another person who really helped Flip in the beginning of the book was Madame Perceval, the art teacher. Madame Perceval was quite understanding of Flip. Flip was an excelling student in art, and as such she was planning to become an artist like her father. Throughout the book, Flip grew and matured while helping everyone around her, and realized that she didn't need somebody else to instill faith into her, as she could find it on her own.

Summary: I do not regret buying this book
Review: This book is about a girl named Philippa who goes to a Swiss boarding school where she is sort of a loner. Then, she meets a boy named Paul at the Chateau, and they become good friends. This book was kind of slow, and not L'Engle's best, though I did enjoy it. You're much better off reading 'The Small Rain,' which is similar to 'And Both Were Young' but has more plot, classic '40's style, and is an Adult book. Anyone who can handle 'And Both Were Young' is ready for 'The Small Rain.'

Summary: One of my favorite books...
Review: This book is perfect for any girl who has ever felt left out or inadequate to her peers, yet still has a love for beauty and a longing for acceptance. I have read it over and over again, and never gotten sick of the story, laughing and crying along with Flip, and most importantly identifying with her. Go on, read it!

Summary: Great Book!!
Review: This book was the best!!!! Madeleine L'engle once again created a wonderful book. I'm not going to say much about the plot for you people who haven't read it, but it's got enough of family problems, romance, and normal schoolgirl stuff as you could want. If you want to read more about this characther don't get mislead that she's on Severed Wasp because she's only mentioned once and she's dead.

Summary: A lifetime favorite
Review: This is one of my favorite L'Engle books, and I have read most of them several times. I am an unabashed fan of L'Engle's work, and this is one of the first I read. I still love to re-read it more than 15 years later. It's a delightful story about a girl overcoming the obstacles in her life, and realizing that many of them she created herself.

Summary: long time favorite
Review: This is one of my favorite L'Engles, although it is definitely one of the lesser known. I had the luck to be able to read both editions, the earlier one and the revised one. Reading them both made me appreciate the newer version that much more. Unlike many of her other books L'Engle has focused on a loner, who doesn't have much of a family to turn too(even when they feel outcast, most of her other series characters do still have their families) Her father has left her at a boarding school while he travels the world painting the children who have been orphaned by WW II. How she learns to deal with her life at a boarding school and a first romance are essentially the plot, but is a good read and reread. oh Scott Dell wrote Island of the Blue Dolphins and Zia
