>Ah, yes. Madeline L'Engle. IIRC, 'Wrinkle' was part of a series. I'd go and look it up, but the shock of having agreed with Daniel in public has stunned me into inaction.

Yes, her Time Quartet. The others are "A Wind in the Door" and "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" and "Many Waters."

But what's great is that pretty much all her fiction interconnects through characters. I love her stuff and wish there was more of it.
