Summary
In honor of Madeleine L'Engle's 100th Birthday, fans are invited to enjoy this archival audiobook, originally recorded in 1994 and newly restored! Listen to the voice of the author, as Madeleine L'Engle reads A Wind in the Door.

Meg Murry can't help but be worried when her six-year-old brother 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.

A Wind in the Door is the second book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time (a Newbery Medal winner), A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

This was a great listen for a long road trip. My eldest children (6 and 8) loved it and wanted to keep listening. Even my 3.5yo was mostly able to follow the story. We love that the characters are flawed and unwilling but step up to what is required of them. It is a beautiful exploration of the concepts of intrinsic value and interrelation of all things great and small. It is a great privilege to listen to an author read their own work, but the children found some conversation hard to follow as she didn’t strongly differentiate characters’ voices.
