Resumen del Editor
When Adam Eddington, a gifted marine biology student, makes the acquaintance of blond and beautiful Kali Cutter at Kennedy International Airport on his way to Portugal to spend the summer working for the renowned scientist Dr. O'Keefe, he has no idea that this seemingly chance meeting will set into motion a chain of events he will be unable to stop.
Caught between Kali's seductive wiles and the trusting adoration of Dr. O'Keefe's daughter, Poly, Adam finds himself enmeshed in a deadly power struggle between two groups of people, only one of which can have right on its side. As the danger escalates, Adam must make a decision that could affect the entire world - which side is he on?

Considered one of the great dystopian novels - alongside Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange and Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World - Ira Levin's frightening glimpse into the future continues to fascinate listeners even 40 years after publication. The story is set in a seemingly perfect global society. Uniformity is the defining feature; there is only one language and all ethnic groups have been eugenically merged into one race called "The Family".

Story captures our hearts and feeds our imaginations. It reminds us who we are and where we came from. Story gives meaning and direction to our lives as we learn to see it as an affirmation of God’s love. Drawing upon her own experiences, well-known tales in literature, and selected narratives from Scripture, Madeleine L’Engle gently leads the way into the glorious world of story in The Rock That Is Higher. Here she acknowledges universal human longings and considers how literature, Scripture, personal stories, and life experiences all point us toward our true home.

For a family with four kids, two dogs, assorted cats, and a constant stream of family and friends dropping by, life in the Austin family home has always been remarkably steady and contented. When a family friend suddenly dies in a plane crash, the Austins open their home to an orphaned girl, Maggy Hamilton. The Austin children - Vicky, John, Suzy, and Rob - do their best to be generous and welcoming to Maggy. Vicky knows she should feel sorry for Maggy, but having sympathy for Maggy is no easy thing.

Historia
In this classic book, Madeleine L’Engle addresses the questions, What makes art Christian? What does it mean to be a Christian artist? What is the relationship between faith and art? Through L’Engle’s beautiful and insightful essay, listeners will find themselves called to what the author views as the prime tasks of an artist: to listen, to remain aware, and to respond to creation through one’s own art.

Historia
Story captures our hearts and feeds our imaginations. It reminds us who we are and where we came from. Story gives meaning and direction to our lives as we learn to see it as an affirmation of God’s love. Drawing upon her own experiences, well-known tales in literature, and selected narratives from Scripture, Madeleine L’Engle gently leads the way into the glorious world of story in The Rock That Is Higher. Here she acknowledges universal human longings and considers how literature, Scripture, personal stories, and life experiences all point us toward our true home.

When her teenage granddaughter comes to her with a troubling question, Camilla Dickinson must confront the painful history she’s long kept hidden. Forced to relive her past, she relates a complex saga involving her beautiful, adulterous mother, her troubled son, and the difficult choices that have affected three generations of her family. As she goes through the difficult process of revealing her secrets, Camilla also lets go of the burden of lies she’s told. A testament to the power of acceptance and forgiveness, A Live Coal in the Sea is ultimately an exploration of the lengths to which people will go for love—and the things they’ll do to protect family.

Could not put this book down
This book kept me engaged from the beginning to the end. Felt deeply connected to the characters and loved the visual descriptions of the different places described. I’ve just finished the Time Quintet — this book is quite different and in some ways my favorite by L’Engle so far. Now onto the next book in the series!

Great listen - couldn’t stop
Narration and story were great, you fall in love with the characters.
I put this one off for a while and I’m really glad I came back to it.

Great story, not a big fan of the ending though...
Great story, not a big fan of the ending though - just didn't seem like enough closure. Narrator did a great job.

A Good Book
This story is not as immediately engaging as the Time Quintet. I didn't get to hear nearly as much from or about Dr. O'Keif and Meg as I would have liked.

Very realistic.
The main character is kind and likable. However, as in real life, he does not always know what to do or who to trust. The twists and turns of the story will keep you from wanting to stop listening.

L'Engle's young adult spy thriller
I have read several Madeleine L’Engle books this year, but mostly her lesser known fiction or non-fiction that has been out of print and is now only available in ebook formats. I still have a couple of her young adult books that I have never read, including most of the O’Keefe family series.
The Arm of the Starfish is the first of the O’Keefe family series (Calvin and Meg from the Wrinkle in Time series are married and the focus is primarily on Polly their daughter.) I had some insight into the family because the main focus on this book is Adam Eddington, who is also a character (set a summer later) in the Austin Family series book A Ring of Endless Light.
Because I have read A Ring of Endless Light, I knew some of the results of the Arm of the Starfish but not the main story. The Arm of the Starfish is set as a young adult spy thriller. Adam is a young college biology major (he graduated from high school early and is only 17.) He has been encouraged to apply for a job with Dr O’Keefe that is on an island off the coast of Spain working with starfish and regeneration.
Starting early, Adam is not quite sure who to trust because of a vague warning from a beautiful girl while waiting for an airplane. That starts a sort of young adult spy thriller. There is a kidnapping, some gun play, document drops, secret science, coded messages and double crosses.
While the basic story is fine, it is not one of L’Engle’s best books and the timelines and personalities for the overlapping characters from other books don’t quite add up. Adam feels older than 17 (probably 19-20). Poly, except for being repeatedly reminded that she has not physically developed into a woman yet, feels older than 12. Meg (always referred to as Mrs O’Keefe) has basically no real role in the book other than mother, even though we know she has a PhD of her own in mathematics. Her personality from the Wrinkle in Time series is basically missing. Calvin (Dr O’Keefe) seems relatively similar to his character from the Wrinkle series.
The spy craft is weak, although I had just finished reading a John le Carré novel. L’Engle did get some of the feel of the ethical dilemmas associated with spy craft right.
In the end this is a young adult novel. I wanted the characters to grow up a bit, but they were supposed to be young. It is definitely from an earlier era where teens were allowed to travel on their own and, while not always comfortable being on their own, were expected to be able to find their way through international airports and through customs and in foreign cities. Reading L’Engle always reminds me we live in a different era.
It not one of my favorite L’Engle books, but certainly not a bad young adult book.

Powerful Story
Great story, fairly well delivered! It held my attention and is well worth listening to over and over again.
I remember loving this book when I was a child and it was first published. As an adult living in these times, the scientific background and the morality of the story is fascinates and moves me more deeply.
However, that same view finds the sociopathic behavior of the Cutters a bit underdeveloped and the responses of our heroes seems too naive.
Even so, the book holds powerful lessons for this Senior Citizen now and especially during these challenging times!
Michael does a fantastic job of switching from the male to the female voice. At first, I thought there were two readers. His delivery seems a little too clipped at times but that is a minor issue.
Well done!

Dissapointed
I loved L'Engle's books growing up! This one seemed unrealistic and I felt the adults in charge were not responsible enough . It was suspenseful but the naivety of Adam was annoying and the death of one of the main characters, at the end made me angry. I really liked him and felt he was the true hero in the book
