  <description><![CDATA[At the special request of Madeleine L'Engle, this publication of An Acceptable Time marks the first time it is included as part of the Murry Family cycle. Polly O'Keefe has recently come to live in the country with her grandparents, the famous scientists Alex and Kate Murry, when she wanders into a time 3,000 years before her own.<br/><p><br/>A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents' farm, Polly sees mist and jagged mountains&mdash;and coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears.<p><br/>Why has a time gate opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes&mdash;and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice?<p><br/>&lt;hr&gt;<br/>A quiet visit with her grandparents turns into a lesson in the fluidity of time for Polly O'Keefe when she meets several strangers from overlapping temporal planes and, with them, plays a key role in a prehistoric confrontation.<br/></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[An Acceptable Time does have a good message.  It teaches truth in that integrated, mostly-subtle way that good books should, and in this is similar to the other books in the &quot;Time&quot; &quot;Series.&quot; (If, indeed, a series it really can be called...)  <br/><br/>The difference is that thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48662516">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[This Commemorative Edition includes a new introduction by the Author.<p><br/>A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents' farm, Poly sees mist and jagged mountains&mdash;and coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears.<p><br/>Why has a time gate opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes&mdash;and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice?<p><br/>&lt;hr&gt;<br/>A quiet visit with her grandparents turns into a lesson in the fluidity of time for Polly O'Keefe when she meets several strangers from overlapping temporal planes and, with them, plays a key role in a prehistoric confrontation.<br/></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[i loved this book!! i read it over thanksgiving! it was great! another classic by Madeleine L'engle!! Even better than Wrinkle in Time, and far superior to Twilight! if you like Twilight, you might really like An Acceptable Time, because it is far better written, and the story is fantastic, yes, but...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38901303">more...</a>]]></body>
