I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and have taught English classes for many years. I have loved reading since I read my first chapter book at age 7.  I soon discovered science  fiction and fantasy and have been in love with these genres ever since. More than anything else I believe instilling a love for good literature and reading helps children develop imagination, good character, and a lifelong habit of learning. This book, 'An Acceptable Time', is the fifth in the 'Time' series, which was my initial introduction into science fiction at the age of 10.  I have successfully completed the first four novels of this time quintet with students here at Outschool. They have requested to do a study of this final book in the series.

This story explores Druids in the Americas, from three thousand years ago as L'Engle attempts to reconcile pagan and christian beliefs in a fictional and secular story of time travel. Characters pulled from others of L'Engle's books take part in this time travel adventure and bring to an end the five- part, time trilogy that began with "A Wrinkle in Time".
