A Wind in the Door (BOOK REVIEW)

 

Sing for the glory of the living and the loving the flaming of creation, sing with us, dance with us, be with us. Be!

Meg Murry is now 14 years old and everything in her life seems to be back to normal. Her father is back to working with her mother and Calvin is becoming much more than a friend, it seems that life couldn't get better. School has started up again and is much better without Mr. Jenkin's as her principal. But when Charles Wallace starts coming home from school all beaten up, Meg knows that there must be a problem. 

Because Charles Wallace is bright and very intelligent, he seems to be targeted. But when Charles Wallace starts to say that he is seeing dragons in the twins garden, Meg knows that she must get to the bottom of his odd behavior. When everything seems like it couldn't get worse, Charles Wallace starts to get very sick, could any of these things connect at all? When Meg finds out that the dragons Charles Wallace saw are real, she can't help but think that all of these circumstances must be something much bigger. 

A Wind in the Door was a very quick read, which made it an enjoyable book. I think that I don't find this series very exciting because of other books I have read before and the fact that this series was probably written mainly targeting younger ages. The first book was better than this one, in my opinion. This book was much more fantastical with a mix of science and very minimal romance. One of the things that I do like about this series is the spiritual tie-in. I like how you can connect some scenes or areas of the book to the bible, or God. Madeline L'enlge's writing is very unique and enjoyable for a cold October day :)

I recommend this book for 11-12+ and give it an 8 out of 10.
