Many Waters is the last of the L'Engle books that I read as a kid and the only one that I remembered any of the plot for. Even though this was written after A Swiftly Tilting Planet the events in the book take place between A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet.
Many Waters retells the Noah story from the point of view of the twins who blunder into the middle of their dad's experiment and end up shunted through time. L'Engle's antediluvian setting is complete with angles and unicorns. Truly, a great deal of fun and one of the few times I've found an author's depiction of an angle convincing.
