Hi. Just responding to the question "what's the fourth book" that I read
oh... a million posts ago (actually, quite recent). The "lesser known"
fourth book is titled _Many Waters_ (as someone posted, then recanted),
and it's set between _A Wind in the Door_ and _A Swiftly Tilting
Planet_. I hate to say it, but I think that this book is actually my
favorite of the four now that I'm older. It's focused on Sandy and Dennys
(the twins), so the person who loves MEG won't get much in the way of
satisfaction on that count. However, I personally consider it to be the
most well-written (close second: Planet), and the story is fabulous. Go
read it. As an added bonus, the frontspiece of the book is a "family
tree" of both the Murray-O'Keefes and the Austen families, outlining
exactly which books contain appearances by which characters. LOVE THIS!
Jen (hope this is helpful)
