A Swiftly Tilting Planet submitted by SBNB on August 7, 2014, 7:23pm This is a great book!

Great Adventure submitted by Makie Kaehr on June 19, 2016, 8:28pm It was very interesting to go through people to learn how to help a dictator not to destroy Earth. It was kind of complicated, but overall is was a great book.

weaving time submitted by camelsamba on June 30, 2016, 9:34pm I know I've read this before (perhaps more than once) decades ago, but I did not remember a thing. This is my favorite from the original "Time Trilogy." The story is complex and multi-layered, and the writing lovely. On the other hand, at times it felt too complicated for a bedtime read-aloud. My 12yo had a hard time keeping track of how the various threads and times tied together - in part because he sometimes fell asleep as I read (and I wouldn't be sure how much to re-read the next night!), but also because the character names from the different times are so similar, so seeing would probably work better than hearing. He enjoyed it enough that once we finished he asked if there were more books. However, I suspect this is better read by older teens than middle grades readers.

Just as good 20 years later submitted by hduke on July 28, 2018, 2:26pm I remember checking out this series on cassette tape from my local library growing up, so it was a delight to be able to relive my childhood by listening to this :)

A swiftly tilting planet submitted by avrogers1 on June 20, 2019, 12:50pm This is apart of the wrinkle in time series. Its a good series. This was not my favorite in the series, but it was still pretty good.
