Many Waters

by Madeleine L'Engle

Book 4 of the Time Quintet series

Teenage twins Sandy and Dennys accidentally travel from their family's laboratory into the ancient world before the biblical flood. Stranded among desert communities, angels, and dangerous supernatural beings, the practical brothers must adapt to a reality their science cannot easily explain. Their presence affects the family of Noah without giving them control over the approaching disaster. Unusual and reflective, this novel suits warm-weather reading for those interested in biblical imagination, survival, sibling bonds, and science encountering mystery.
