4/2/2008 Rahma Krambo said: When I first read this many moons ago, it was in a genre all by itself. It has a spiritual quality to it that was unique and I believe it still is. A Wrinkle in Time continues to be one of my all time favorites and Madeleine L'Engle is a major source of inspiration for me in writing.

11/27/2007 Fran Slayton said: One of my all-time favorites. This book changed my life. It altered my understanding of time and love. How cool is that? Madeleine L'Engle has influenced my desire to write more than any other author. If my books can move a child's heart like hers moved mine, then I'll be one happy, happy girl.
