Madeleine L'Engle (Wrinkle in Time) memorial post link
The editors of THE ENVIRONMENTALIST have written a memorial post about Madeleine L'Engle:

Madeleine L'Engle died today. You may not know her name, but to an entire generation, the world she'd created with her Newbery Medal winning "A Wrinkle in Time," was as important to their lives as J.R.R. Tolkien was to those who loved "The Lord of the Rings"...

4. "A Wrinkle in Time"
I loved reading this book aloud with my students. It always generated wonderful classroom discussions.

L'Engle was always one of my favorite writers. Though she lived a good, long life. RIP
