It all started with L'Engle's classic children's tale A Wrinkle in Time. At the time, my curiousity was kindled because L'Engle's masterpiece was instrumental in an old lover's youth and I wished to familiarize myself with this muse of sorts. Years later, I bought A Wrinkle in Time and got hooked. Soon followed A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and Many Waters. Before I knew it, I was immersed deeply in this fantastic, whimsical, and avant-garde series of children's adventures. It has been several months since my ardent travels through the Murry family's space and time travels concluded yet I feel just as excited as ever. The award-winning L'Engle has encompassed wonder, filial love, and adventure in the series which shall continue to resonate with kids across the globe for generations to come.

I had never read Madeleine L'engle's work before. Her stories are profound, so simply and poetically written. Her characters connect with all those inner parts of us that know we are more than what appears in our everyday lives. This amazing author shows us humanity taking the steps to being more fully human!

An excellent and thoughtful book to read with your children (ages 9+) or to read on your own (11+). A captivating and complex story of three children on the adventure of their lifetimes. Although this book is darker then most of what is being written now, it provides rich layers and textures that make it a timeless classic. Beautiful and moving.

I have loved these books since I was young and recently bought them to share with my children. I was always passionately obsessed with these books growing up and can't wait to share them with my kids!
