The Friday 56 (30) A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice where every Friday you pick a book and turn to page 56 or 56%, and select a sentence or a few, as long as it's not a spoiler. For the full rules, visit the the page HERE

For my 56 this week, I selected a quote from a book I recently read. (A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle)

 Synopsis from Goodreads...

When fifteen-year-old Charles Wallace Murry shouts out an ancient rune meant to ward off the dark in desperation, a radiant creature appears. It is Gaudior, unicorn and time traveler. Charles Wallace and Gaudior must travel into the past on the winds of time to try to find a Might-Have-Been - a moment in the past when the entire course of events leading to the present can be changed, and the future of Earth - this small, swiftly tilting planet - saved. A Swiftly Tilting Planet is the third book in Madeleine L'Engle's classic Time Quintet...

A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Time Quintet, #3)
"Charles Wallace wrapped his arms about himself as though for warmth. "And you wonder that I'm frightened?" 
"Of course you're frightened. I'm frightened, too.""-- A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle

    One of my favorites!!! My son and I just finished reading The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. I'm so glad he's getting to where he'll enjoy classics like that. Some day he'll be given my L'Engle's to try, too!

      The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe is definitely a good one, although I don't think I finished reading the series but I probably need to. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. :)

    I haven't read this one for years. I liked it when I was binging on Madeleine L'Engle's works. My YA BB and 56 come from Rebel Mechanics by Shanna Swendson. Happy reading!

      I have the first three in the 50th anniversary edition, but I definitely want to get more of L'Engle's novels. They are definitely worth binge reading. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. :D

      It's definitely worth the read, but I recommend starting with the beginning of the series, A Wrinkle in Time. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. :)

    I've only read A Wrinkle in Time and I've been wanting to reread that since it's been probably 25 years since I read it the last time. I'd love to explore more of her work as well. This one definitely sounds intriguing.

      I'd also like to check out more of L'Engle's works since I really enjoyed A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend. :D
