About this listen

 The third book in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time Quintet. Read the ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy series that has delighted children for over 60 years!

* “An intricately woven fantasy.” —Booklist, starred review

When Charles Wallace Murry shouts out in desperation an ancient rune meant to ward off the dark, 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.

This title is nowhere near as good as A Wrinkle in Time but it was interesting, very interesting.

Interesting.

As a huge fan of A Wrinkle in Time, I was so disappointed in A Swiftly Tilting Planet. It was weird, and kept following other characters, when all I wanted was a true adventure with Charles Wallace. I kept listening for much longer than I should have, and once I realised that no-one was forcing me to listen and that I just didn't care how it ended, I turned it off and have no desire to finish it (1hr 30mins left on it). I won't be getting anything else by this author. I'm calling Wrinkle a one-hit wonder.

Disappointed, and just couldn't finish it.
