Praise for A WRINKLE IN TIME
"A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I've 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

Praise for A WIND IN THE DOOR

"Madeleine L'Engle mixes classical theology, contemporary family life, and futuristic science fiction to make a completely convincing tale that should put under its spell both readers familiar with the Murrys and those meeting them for the first time."
-- The New York Times Book Review

Praise for A SWIFTLY TILTING PLANET

"Charles Wallace (A Wrinkle in Time), now 15, Meg, and the Murrys reappear in an intricately woven fantasy in which the boy time-spins through a tangle of history to find and mend the broken link that threatens to disturb the harmony of today. Theme is L'Engle's greatest forte and once again she proves this with a compelling plot, rich in style that vibrates with provocative thoughts on universal love, individual caring, and the need for the joy in living." --Starred, Booklist

Biografía del autor

Madeleine Lx{0026} x02019;Engle fue una escritora estadounidense, nacida en Nueva York en 1918 y fallecida en Litchfield, Connecticut, Estados Unidos el 6 de septiembre de 2007. Es una de las más célebres representantes de la novela fantástica, la ciencia ficción y la literatura juvenil del siglo XX. Sus primeros pasos dentro del terreno de la literatura de creación estuvieron orientados hacia el público adulto, pero pronto advirtió que las mentalidades de los jóvenes estaban más abiertas a las novedades y dificultades que sus escritos podían proponer, por lo que escribió Una arruga en el tiempo. Esta famosa novela que constituyó la primera entrega de lo que más tarde se conocería como el Quinteto del Tiempo, fue tan exitosa que mereció el Premio Newbery Medal (1963), fue finalista del Hans Christian Anderson Award (1964), y en 1965 fue reconocida con el Sequoyah Award y el Lewis Carroll Shelf Award. Además del mencionado Quinteto del Tiempo, Madeleine Lx{0026} x02019;Engle escribió otra serie de novelas que le reportaron idéntico reconocimiento entre los seguidores de la literatura juvenil, entre las que destacan la serie la familia Austin y su popular novela Camila, recientemente adaptada al cine.
