The third book in Madeleine L'Engle's spellbinding A Wrinkle in Time
Quintet.
Another provocative spellbinding tale." --Philadelphia Inquirer
*Some things have to be believed to be seen.

Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal, run-of-the-mill ones in
the extraodinary Murry family. They garden, make an occasional A in
school, and play baseball. Nothing especially interesting has happened
to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their father's
experiment.
Then the two boys are thrown across time and space. They find themselves
alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can find
unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will
find them.
The twins are rescued by Japheth, a man from the nearby oasis, but
before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost. Each boy is
quickly embroiled in the conflicts of this time and place, whose
populations includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts,
perilous and beautiful nephilim, and small, long lived humans who
consider Sandy and Dennys giants. The boys find they have more to do in
the oasis than simply getting themselves home--they have to reunite an
estranged father and son, but it won't be easy, especially when the son
is named Noah and he's about to start building a boat in the desert.
Praise for Many Waters:
"Sandy and Dennys, twins and middle children in the Newbery-winning A
Wrinkle in Time, are transported to the time just before the Flood. . .
This will be enjoyed for its suspense and humor as well as its other
levels of meaning." --Kirkus Reviews
"L'Engle blends speculative fiction with biblical theology to create
another provocative spellbinding tale." --Philadelphia Inquirer
