with the l'engle books, i had rarely ventured from the wrinkle in time series, but when i finally read the inside cover and found that this book's main character was the daughter of the characters in the other books, i read it in about three days. l'engle's coming-of-age books are absolutely amazing, and this one is no exception. i found myself never wanting to put it down, which is pretty rare for me these days, and was highly disappointed when it came to an end. this is a great read.
