I have read this book several times in my life and each time I get something new from it. A delightful book for teens and adults alike.

Unlike many others, I never read this book in middle school or high school. Rather, I first read it in my "Fantasy Literature" class in college (I was the first engineering major to ever take that class - ha ha) and really enjoyed it. I can see why it would appeal to a younger audience - the main characters are children who go on an adventure into the universe to save their father. But I can also understand why we read it at the college level - there's a deeper reliogio-political side to it that's worthy of serious discussion.
This is a 1963 Newbery Medal winner, and the first in a four-part series that also includes: A Wind in the Door; A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which won the American Book Award; and Many Waters.

A Great read. Very deep. Especially in the views of the inhabitance of the different worlds.

A great read for any age. An imaginative tale of two children and their journey through time and space to bring peace to a dying world.

Had to read for Children's Literature course. Good fantasy, but hard for "younger ones" to follow. Need to be around 7th or 8th grade to enjoy this book.

A very charming book that will take you away to another world. Beautifully descriptive and mesmerizing.

A Great read. Very deep. Especially in the views of the inhabitance of the different worlds.
It has the general apperance of being science fiction.. but it is not.. There is a mystery, mysticism , a feeling for brooding horror
I had to read this for class. My professor loves this book but I didn't see why it was so great.
