Author: Madeline L'Engle
Illustrator: Leo and Diane Dillon
Why Selected: Award winner
Literary Merit: Awkward kids and siblings find out a lot about selves and each other. Mystical tale of travels to the fifth dimension. Strange characters which makes you have to really think this through. Vocabulary is challenging at times, not that that's bad, just worth noting.
Share: I think this is a difficult one to read aloud. But perhaps the audio book is a better way to go. There is some difficult language and suspension of reality which may distract a lot of kids.
Appeal: Grades 3-6.
Awards: Newbery-1963
