Commentary Toward Books The Time Quartet Box Set (Time Quintet #1-4)
These books make me sad to know what kids are reading today. Very few "children's books" quote Euripides, Goethe, and include sayings in Portuguese or Welsh. These stories (A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which is my favorite, in particular) are largely responsible for the shaping of my imagination as far as time-travel, space, and the interplay between parts of history is concerned. And I always forget how beautifully anti-war they are. I also love how L'Engle weaves significant matters of faith into each story, and as a kid this definitely helped me understand that you didn't have to exclude God/faith from Fantasy/Sci-Fi. The only real complaint I have is that they all end rather abruptly, A Wrinkle in Time especially.Rating About Books The Time Quartet Box Set (Time Quintet #1-4)

So I just finished reading this series for the first time and loved it. The edition I have doesn't have a list of which order to read the books in, so I had to guess. In case you're wondering, the order is: A Wrinkle in Time; A Wind in the Door; Many Waters; and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favourite, but I really enjoyed A Swiftly Tilting Planet. I liked how everything was so interconnected. I really enjoyed the series because it's sci-fi, and fantasy, and clever andThis is the series that started it all for me. I was in 5th grade and hated reading, but then we had the choice of reading either A Wrinkle in Time or the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. Out of 3 classes of students reading only 5 of us chose Wrinkle because we were told it was hard to read. Apparently they were quite convincing, which makes me think they didn't like the book. It wasn't easy, but I felt special being in the small group and I was determined to succeed. I really liked the book. I
This story was easy to read and engaging. I recommend to anyone who enjoys a good book. I was sad to see it end and I look forward to seeing what else I can find from this author.

I read these books when I was 11 or 12, it was right after I finished all of Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Sweet Valley kids/High/college and Babysitter's club..... THESE BOOKS OPENED MY EYES!!! I first read Madeleine's books as the Austin Family in the book of "A Ring of Endless Light", and I enjoyed it!! I found her other books.... and this was it! These books opened my eyes to sci-fi, multi-universe and fantasy books! Now I can say my genre of reading are mostly this. (I'll sometimes read a rom-com
Wonderful books for any age that will give your imagination something to grow on. Great books to discuss as well.
Most favorite books of all-time right here, with the last book being my favorite. Ive read these umpteen times, and every time it gets better. 😍
This is by all accounts from other readers a fine juvenile read. i found it when my children were already grown...adults...on their own, but finding I had enjoyed other "youth reads" I picked it up anyway. I found it nice. It's reader friendly and I think it will stretch and involve younger readers well. If you have younger readers this is one you should try. As a book that holds on over for older readers I don't think it works as well, though if you read it young and loved it that might be
