Descripción editorial
In A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle, a companion to the Newbery Award winner A Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door, the Murry and O'Keefe Families enlist the help of the unicorn, Gaudior, to save the world from imminent nuclear war.
Fifteen-year-old Charles Wallace and the unicorn Gaudior undertake a perilous journey through time in a desperate attempt to stop the destruction of the world by the mad dictator Madog Branzillo. They are not alone in their quest.
Charles Wallace's sister, Meg--grown and expecting her first child, but still able to enter her brother's thoughts and emotions by "kything"--goes with him in spirit. Charles Wallace must face the ultimate test of his faith and his will as he is sent within four people from another time, there to search for a way to avert the tragedy threatening them all.

The first two books of this series were really interesting and constantly fun but this book bored me. I had to force myself to read it and I wasn’t engaged with the book. The constant time jumps in the book made it hard to read and the characters were uninteresting because of how little you saw about them. Going into this book you would expect it to be about Meg and Charles but it was mostly about these new characters that never felt fully developed which made it all the more disappointing.

It’s okay… but there are some surprises that could make you mad in this book— also happy.
