A Swiftly Tilting Planet

I have been reading the next Madeleine L'Engle book. It is all right. I do like how the Murrys are a lot older now. I like that Meg is now an adult, is married and is expecting her first baby. She now wears contact lenses, has no braces on her teeth, and has hair that is better kept. That sort of reminds me of how Anne Hathaway's character in The Princess Diaries changes from a gawky school-girl to a perfectly-poised princess.

A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle

I finished this book a few weeks ago. I read it back in high school, and I thought I would give it another read. I enjoyed it very much, but its predecessor "A Wrinkle in Time" was better. I like the themes in the book, such as working for the greater good and putting others first. The story is largely about Charles Wallace, a young boy who is seriously ill because his mitochondria is not working properly. There exists in his cells a device called "farondolae" that help mitochondria work.
