Resumen del Editor

Meg Murry can't help but be worried when her six-year-old brother, Charles Wallace, announces there are dragons in the vegetable garden. He's so bright, and so different from other kids, he's getting bullied at school, and he is also strangely, seriously ill.

But Charles Wallace is right about the dragons - actually a friendly entity who has come to help Charles Wallace fight his sickness, and to take Meg and her friend Calvin O'Keefe on a terrifying, wonderful journey into galactic space - where they must battle the force of evil to save Charles Wallace, and themselves.

Fun children’s book, even for adults

A well narrated, different and intriguing story line. I hadn’t realized that it was a written for children when I purchased. I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Great but...

It is a amazing book,it is one of those books that you can listen to over and over again.It is great for kids,but adults can in joy it too. It is not as good as the first one but it is not far behind. It is great to hear about our old friends Meg,Calvin,and Charles Wallace again.

Just like childhood

This was beautifully read/acted; not overly sensationalized, just quality of performance and holding true to the material!

Flawless Performance

This is a fully engaging performance of an exceptional book. Unlike when I first read it 55 years ago, my mind didn’t drift at all. I think that is because the reading was so very expressive.

such a one of a kind wonderful story

I flew through this story. It was such an entertaining read. I loved the characters and the messages, even the narraration was memorable.

Good story but too much science

It had great potential,but it had a lot of science that made the book hard to understand. The science is what made the first book good, this time it just took it to far. But over all it wasn't too bad.

Dragons and Science

Love this. It's a compelling Young adult novel with metaphors, science, and fantasy galore.

I was disappointed.

after reading a wrinkle in time, again as an adult, I thought the story was pretty cool, and was really looking forward to a sequel. but science fiction is a tricky genre, because a lot of authors, like this one, take it from the imaginative, to the absurd. I feel like that's exactly what this author did, and in so doing, really ruined the whole story. I can't remember what the word was, kive??? come on, I think that's taking it a little far. I don't know if I'm going to risk spending another credit to find out if the third book in the series is any good.

A wonderful adventure

Although it might seem like a story for children, the book goes deeper into a fantasy land suited for adults as well. I very much enjoyed the plot and also the narrator.

Fantasy, Sci-fi, and Spirituality Tied In A Bow

If you could sum up A Wind in the Door in three words, what would they be?

Thoughtful, Revealing, Loving

Who was your favorite character and why?

Meg is the heroine of the novel and my favorite character. Meg has the opportunities/frustrations/successes of experiencing new knowledge firsthand while giving the reader a glance into what it might feel like to have the ability to speak across the heavens or synapses (size doesn't matter, you see).

Which scene was your favorite?

I thoroughly enjoy the scene when Meg connects (or "kives") with other individuals without the need for a vision to accompany the action. She perceives the essence of the individual's spirit and learns that love really isn't an emotion. I'm not going to spoil the book, so you'll have to listen to find out Madeline L'Engle's take on "love".

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I usually find myself in tears near the end of the book as all of the newfound skills in communication and understanding heal little brother, Charles Wallace.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended. It's for all ages, especially if you find yourself seeking some spiritual inspiration that is beyond religion.
