>I loved A Wrinkle in Time. My daughter read it when she was younger and based on her recommendation, I did as well. But her writings are definitely written for the younger crowd (as in preteen). :o)

Not all of them, actually. She wrote several adult novels as well. What's cool is that much of her adult and young adult series take place in the same universe.

Also, though much of her writing is aimed at preteens, it's quite readable. I reread all of her fiction that I could get my hands on (I own much of it) after she died a couple of years ago.
