When Meg comes home from school, Charles Wallace tells her he saw dragons in the twin’s vegetable garden. That night Meg, Calvin and C.W. go to the vegetable garden to meet the Teacher (Blajeny) who explains that what they are seeing isn’t a dragon at all, but a cherubim named Proginoskes. It turns out that C.W. is ill and that Blajeny and Proginoskes are there to make him well – by making him well, they will keep the balance of the universe in check and save it from the evil Echthros. Meg, Calvin and Mr. Jenkins (grade school principal) must travel inside C.W. to have this battle and save Charles’ life as well as the balance of the universe. **Praise for A Wind in the Door:** “Complex concepts of space and time are handled well for young readers, and the author creates a suspenseful, life-and-death drama that is believably of cosmic significance. Complex and rich in mystical religious insights, this is breathtaking entertainment.” — *School Library Journal* , **starred review** Books by Madeleine L’Engle **A Wrinkle in Time Quintet** *A Wrinkle in Time* A Wind in the Door A Swiftly Tilting Planet Many Waters An Acceptable Time *A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel* by Madeleine L’Engle; adapted & illustrated by Hope Larson: A graphic novel adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic. *Intergalactic P.S. 3* by Madeleine L’Engle; illustrated by Hope Larson: Visit the world of *A Wrinkle in Time* in this standalone story! **The Austin Family Chronicles** *Meet the Austins* (Volume 1) *The Moon by Night* (Volume 2) *The Young Unicorns* (Volume 3) *A Ring of Endless Light* (Volume 4) A Newbery Honor book! *Troubling a Star* (Volume 5) **The Polly O’Keefe books** *The Arm of the Starfish* Dragons in the Waters A House Like a Lotus And Both Were Young Camilla The Joys of Love
