Years have passed since 'A Wind in the Door'. Charles Wallace is a teenager and Meg Murry is the pregnant wife of Calvin O'Keefe. Dramatic changes in her protagonists seems to be one of L'Engle's hallmarks, and with a little research, I see she can go back and forth on a character's age. Much like G...
The further I progress into this series, the further downhill it goes. I had so many issues with this book. Not a single thing I read made it redeemable in the least. I know this is a beloved series for many people and if you really like this book, that's great. I'm authentically happy you enjoy thi...
Wasn't expecting to like this one, but I did. It was a bit episodic, but a pretty complex woven-together plotline. Not as didactic and trippy-for-the-sake-of-trippiness as A Wind in the Door. In fact, the story was so compelling, I found the Murry family and the present-day conflict to be the weak...
I had planned on reading this entire series, but I’m done after this one. I admit defeat. You have defeated me, children’s books. You win. A Swiftly Tilting Planet takes place about nine years after the events of the previous book. A South American dictator is threatening to blow up the world for ...
A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeleine L'Engle is about the quest to stop a South American dictator from initiating nuclear war. Charles Wallace, with the help of his older sister Meg, must travel through time and manipulate events by "going within" other people in order to prevent this disaster from...
This is the third book in a classic trilogy of children's books that begins with A Wrinkle in Time. It's shelved in the section for the seven to thirteen set, but I've only now read it for the first time as an adult. There are some children's or young adult books I've first read as an adult I've lov...
This was better than A Wind In The Door, but of course not nearly as amazing as A Wrinkle In Time. But this was still good. This takes place several years after the events in A Wrinkle In Time and A Wind In The Door, and Charles Wallace is the main character. This was interesting to read and I reall...
It’s Thanksgiving and Meg Murry O’Keefe is back in the folds of her family for a celebration dinner when the president called with news of impending nuclear war. Mrs O’Keefe, Meg’s mother-in-law, was present (surprising them all with her acceptance of dinner invitation) and laid a charge on Charles...
(Original review on my livejournal account: http://intoyourlungs.livejournal.com/32539.html)Why I Read It: Last year, I re-read and enjoyed A Wrinkle in Time for my Children's Literature class and then read (and also enjoyed) its sequel, A Wind in the Door for an essay in the same class. I actually ...
