Praise for A Wrinkle in Time
One of Americas most beloved stories. --Andrew Liptak in Kirkus
A coming of age fantasy story that sympathizes with typical teen girl awkwardness and insecurity, highlighting courage, resourcefulness and the importance of famiyl ties as key to overcoming them. --Carol Platt Liebau, author, in the New York Post
An exhilarating experience. --Kirkus Reviews
This imaginative book will be read for a long time into the future. --Childrens Literature
A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. Ive 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. --Meg Cabot
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. --Cory Doctorow
LEngles] work is one of the things that made me a writer, a science fiction and fantasy fan, an avid reader. Hers were the first books I read that mixed math and magic, the quest and the quantum. --Scott Westerfeld
A Wrinkle in Time taught me that you can tackle even the deepest and most slippery concepts of physics and philosophy in fiction for young readers. Its a great lesson for all writers, and a tough tesseract to follow. --David Lubar
