Summary: An excelent story about the choices a girl must make
Review: It all starts when Poly takes a trip to her grandparents house to get away from her brothers and sisters for awhile. She soon starts seeing a mysterious girl and boy from the past. Eventually she and an old friend: Zachary stumble upon a gate between the two worlds. Soon she must decide what to do; should she leave Zachary and return before the gate closes or stay and risk never seeing her family and friends again? Torn between a love she finds through the gate and her family, Poly must choose.I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys an unusual story. I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to read myself to sleep and once I picked up this book I didn't get any sleep. It is one of L'Engles most interesting books I've ever read. Whether you have read some of her books in the past or not I think this is one you should read.

Summary: I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: It is the best of all the murry family series and I love how the two families of the Austins and Murrys colide. I read it during a study of the stone age in England and I think it coencides perfectly. I do not like the Austin family series but this makes me want to read more of their books. I love it, or did I already say that...

Review: It's about a girl named Polly O'Keefe who visits her grandparents and finds a time gate that can take her 3000 years back in time.When her grandparents find out, they forbid her to go visit the ancient time, but she keeps on going, mostly on accident. At first, she goes in and out of it, just visiting, but then, she and two friends get stuck in it. She makes friends with the tribe that she's with, and then tries to protect herself with another nearby tribe that's willing to sacrifice her to end a terrible drought.

Summary: A wonderful fantasy book by the one and only!
Review: Madeleine Langle is Classic, and so are her books. I am a fan of hers, my first being A Wrinkle in Time. This book was strikingly wonderful with interesting facts of science, and history. Not only does this open up your imagination, but you learn from it too. This story has a lot to do with time lapses and going back 5,000 years ago to a tribe a peaceful living people called The People of The Wind. On an accident of walking around, Polly gets mixed in an issue concerning two times, sacrifice, love, and the change of history, possibly. It's a mind boggler and a wonderful book to read. I really recommend people to give it a try. Try everything once within reason!

Summary: A worthwhile read for all ages
Review: Madeline L'Engle is one of the most engrossing and thought provoking writers alive today. I have enjoyed her books since I was a child, and continue enjoying them today. What I love about all of her books is that the stories she tells are accessable to all ages, and so is the depth of content. I find a different story every time I re-read one of her books. An Acceptable Time is no exception. Some have said that the plot is unrealistic. In response to this, I must say that none of her stories are meant in any way to be strictly realistic. They are modern fairy stories, filled with characters that the reader can identify with. An Aceeptable Time resolves and sheds light on many issues brought up in previous L'Engle books that dealt with the O'Keefe family. It is a wonderful study of familial relationships and coming of age. I would reccommend this book to anyone of any age.

Summary: another great addition to the time series
Review: My friend Kristen let me borrow her copy of an acceptable time because I'm a huge fan of Madeleine L'Engel and I missed this book some how. The story starts off by us meeting Polly, the daughter of Meg and Clavin O'Keefe. If you remember from the previous books, Meg is the oldest of four children(Meg, the twins Dennys and Sandy, and Charles Wallace) and she has already been in four books(aka the time quartet). This story is about Polly, the first born from the O'Keefes. Polly discovers a time warp in which she travels back 3,000 years before when what we'd consider Indians lived. Also in the story is Zachary. If you've read other L'Engel books you'll remember him from A Ring of Endless Light. In this book, he's sort of Polly's boyfriend but he's got a really bad heart. Also in the story are Polly's grandparents, Dr. Louise, and Louise's brother who happens to be a Bishop. The Bishop, Polly, and Zachary all end up going back to the time when Annie and Karayls lived and what happens, well you'll have to find out for yourself.

Summary: Not as good as some of her other work.
Review: Normally I would probally absoloutely love this book, but I didn't. I was dissapointed because it did not meet the high expectaions I had by reading some of L'Engle's other books. Altogether, not such a bad read, but definately not one of the best.

Summary: An acceptable time
Review: Once again, Madeleine L'Engle manages to take us through a fantastic, yet believable world. In this novel, Polly, Meg's daughter, is spending time with her grandparents in New England, when she is suddenly transported through time to the village of a 3000-year-old culture. Polly learns to live with these people and the difficulties they are experiencing, all the while trying to figure out how to get home to her own time. This novel weaves interesting bits of ancient history into the story, and by doing so, makes the story feel real. While reading this book, I almost felt as if I were one of the characters, experiencing the story through their eyes. L'Engle makes Polly believable as an intelligent and sympathetic character.
