Many Waters

 

This is the fourth book in Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet series. It's ok. There aren't that many young adult or children's books that delve into Biblical times. The only other one I have read was The Bronze Bow and that was a superior book. I like how this book centers around Sandy and Dennys two characters we have barely got to know in the Time Quintet series. They enter Biblical times when Noah starts building an ark. Most of the book is focused on what will happen to the girl they like Yalith. Will she get drowned with the others?  It took me a while to finish this book so I can't say it was a page-turner. Still, I have to give it to L'Engle. This book was at least different than most books you find in children's literature.
