A Wrinkle In Time

It's hard to believe that A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle is old enough to be considered a classic, but it was published back in 1962.  I feel like I missed some sort of rite of passage, because I never read this book as a child, so I felt like I needed to rectify the situation.  I knew nothing about the plot when I started reading it.  I was surprised by the heavy undertones about God, because I knew it used to be commonly read in school.   L'Engle really spoke quite a bit about the evils of losing our agency and the need for opposition in our lives.  This book has quite a bit of depth underneath its surface.  It's obviously a really good book for all ages to enjoy.  A Wrinkle in Time received the Newbery Medal in 1963, so I am counting this in the category of #11- An award-winning classic.
