A Wind in the Door

De: Madeleine L'Engle

Narrado por: Jennifer Ehle

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.

L’Engle’s Wrinkle in Time is way better

Until Audible, I didn’t know Wrinkle In Time was a series of books.
I adored Wrinkle growing up. I thought the next in series would give me the same feelings of adventure, but it didn’t.
Performance was well done. Story was meh. When I am able to tune out a book, it’s not great.

A Real Adventure

Reading A Wind in the Door has given me a warm feeling of adventure, family and love.

another fantastic story in this series!

the idea of naming or being named is so important. I love how this books explores this idea. being named is to be seen and loved. great stroy.

whimsical science fiction coming of age tale

There is so much to like about all her books and the only one doesn't like is that they're never long enough and they Must end. One Must leave the fantastical world she has created and return to ours. That's the Worst thing about her books, they end.

amazingly intriguing sequel

the storyline of the book is all new and wants to make you keep on listening. i could not put it down. a true page turner and a very creative theme. the vocabulary is mature and i would recommend for 6-9th grade. overall very intriguing.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Farandolae

By the time I was halfway through A Wrinkle in Time, I knew I was a fan and felt I absolutely *NEEDED* to have the rest of the series, so I quickly blew my credits on the next three books of the quintet.

I started A Wind in the Door with some trepidation, scared that I had overhyped myself and worried that I had stuck myself with an entire series of books which may turn out to be mediocre. 5 minutes into the book, I was no longer worried. Madeleine L'Engle had already quickly swept me into her imaginative world, and Meg revealed herself still to be delightfully awkward and angry.

Despite previous criticism of her style being simultaneously too religious and not religious enough in A Wrinkle in Time, the writer, gleefully it seems, goes ahead and does what she wants - turning Charles Wallace's drove of dragons into, of all creatures, a singular cherubim. From then on, the book carries on in it's charming unapologetic way, not caring if it may be scaring off children with all its references to mitochondria and celluar biology, neither caring whether it's scaring off adults with its blatant disregard for time, space or scale.

It's delightful, it's fantastical and leaves me believing that despite what the scientists say, Yes, there may be Farandolae singing the songs of the stars. An A+ read, and a satisfying sequel.

Fun children’s book, even for adults

A well narrated, different and intriguing story line. I hadn’t realized that it was a written for children when I purchased. I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Dragons and Science

Love this. It's a compelling Young adult novel with metaphors, science, and fantasy galore.

Great but...

It is a amazing book,it is one of those books that you can listen to over and over again.It is great for kids,but adults can in joy it too. It is not as good as the first one but it is not far behind. It is great to hear about our old friends Meg,Calvin,and Charles Wallace again.

Just like childhood

This was beautifully read/acted; not overly sensationalized, just quality of performance and holding true to the material!
