With the L'Engle books, I had rarely ventured from the Wrinkle in Time series, but when I finally read the inside cover and found that this book's main character was the daughter of the characters in the other books, I read it very quickly. L'Engle's coming-of-age books are absolutely amazing, and this one is no exception. I found myself never wanting to put it down and was highly disappointed when it came to an end. This is a great read for just about anyone, but female readers will most likely be able to relate more. ( )
