Michelle Nijhuis recalls what the 1962 children's science fiction novel meant to her growing up, and now as a parent: "Madeleine L’Engle and her characters encouraged my appreciation for science and scientists … A Wrinkle in Time has always had its detractors, young readers who find it boring, or unbelievable, or annoying. But many more boys and girls dive in deep, as I did, and remember it as adults with a kind of desperate fondness."
