A Wind in the Door

by Madeleine Lengle

A Wind in the Door Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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

Synopsis:

"Through a day and night of terror, the forces of good and evil fight for thelife of a boy and the ultimate salvation of mankind. Mrs. L'Engle proves onceagain that she is a fine and sensitive teller of tales." Publishers Weekly
