Sara M. '07 An Acceptable Time by Madeleine LEngle is about Polly,
a teenager, who is staying at her grandparents house. One day though, Polly
accidentally walks through a time gate opened by a friend of her grandparents. Once the
friend tells Pollys grandparents the facts, they are wary. Polly tells her boyfriend
all about the time gate. He has a bad heart and thinks that if he goes back in time, it
will help. He pulls Polly, against her will, back through the time gate. When they try to
return home, the time gate has closed! The friend of the family is also back in time with
them. He feels responsible for Polly and her friend being stuck 3000 years in the
past.
Will they ever come back? Read An Acceptable Time!
