Our planet just tilted a little and hole has been left behind.

Madeleine L’Engle, author of so many incredible books, has died at the age of 89.  She is best known for my favorite of her books, A Wrinkle in Time, which won the Newbery Award in 1963. 

She introduced so many children in the 1960s and 1970s to the wonder of science fiction.  Wrinkle in Time forever colored the way I saw the universe and our world.   Her art was in the blending of scientific detail, great characters and wonderful prose.  If you haven’t read Wrinkle in Time, take this time to read it in honor of its incredible author.
