I've read it so often, I know it by heart. Meg Murry was my hero growing up. I wanted glasses and braces and my parents to stick me in an attic bedroom. And I so wanted to save Charles Wallace from IT." --<i>Meg Cabot on A Wrinkle in Time</i> <p/>"A book that every young person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a better place." --<i>Cory Doctorow on A Wrinkle in Time</i> <p/>"A suspenseful, life-and-death drama that is of believable cosmic significance. Complex and rich in mystical religious insights, this is breathtaking entertainment." --<i>School Library Journal, starred review on A Wind in the Door</i> <p/>"Madeleine L'Engle mixes classical theology, contemporary family life, and futuristic science fiction to make a completely convincing tale that should put under its spell both readers familiar with the Murrys and those meeting them for the first time." --<i>The New York Times Book Review on A Wind in the Door</i> <p/>"An intricately woven fantasy ... Theme is L'Engle's greatest forte, and once again she proves this with a compelling plot, rich in style that vibrates with provocative thoughts on universal love, individual caring, and the need for the joy in living." --<i>Booklist, starred review on A Swiftly Tilting Planet</i> <p/>"This will be enjoyed for its suspense and humor as well as its other levels of meaning." --<i>Kirkus Reviews on Many Waters</i> <p/>"L'Engle blends speculative fiction with biblical theology to create another provocative spellbinding tale." --<i>Philadelphia Inquirer on Many Waters</i> <p/>"L'Engle has again achieved the award-winning style of A Wrinkle in Time ...
