But this winter the security she has always known has vanished, because her parents' marriage is coming apart - and Camilla is caught in the middle. She finds a way to escape her troubles when she meets Frank, her best friend's brother, who is someone she can really talk to about life, death, God, and her dream of becoming an astronomer. When Frank introduces her to the important people in his life, who are so different from anyone she has met before, he opens her eyes to worlds beyond her own, almost as if he were a telescope helping her to see the stars. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis novel, one of the author's earliest, is the story of a girl who, with the help of her first love, leaves childhood behind and enters adulthood with a newfound sense of self and inner strength. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBooks by Madeleine L'Engle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Wrinkle in Time Quintet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time\u003cbr\u003eA Wind in the Door\u003cbr\u003eA Swiftly Tilting Planet\u003cbr\u003eMany Waters\u003cbr\u003eAn Acceptable Time\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel\u003c\/i\u003e by Madeleine L'Engle; adapted \u0026amp; illustrated by Hope Larson \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntergalactic P.S. 3\u003c\/i\u003e by Madeleine L'Engle; illustrated by Hope Larson: A standalone story set in the world of \u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Austin Family Chronicles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMeet the Austins\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 1) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Moon by Night\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 2) \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Young Unicorns\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 3)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Ring of Endless Light \u003c\/i\u003e(Volume 4) A Newbery Honor book!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTroubling a Star\u003c\/i\u003e (Volume 5) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Polly O'Keefe books\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Arm of the Starfish\u003cbr\u003eDragons in the Waters\u003cbr\u003eA House Like a Lotus \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd Both Were Young \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCamilla \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Joys of Love\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMadeleine L'Engle\u003c\/b\u003e (1918-2007) was the Newbery Medal-winning author of more than 60 books, including the much-loved \u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time\u003c\/i\u003e. Born in 1918, L'Engle grew up in New York City, Switzerland, South Carolina and Massachusetts. Her father was a reporter and her mother had studied to be a pianist, and their house was always full of musicians and theater people. L'Engle graduated cum laude from Smith College, then returned to New York to work in the theater. While touring with a play, she wrote her first book, \u003ci\u003eThe Small Rain\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in 1945. She met her future husband, Hugh Franklin, when they both appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Cherry Orchard\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUpon becoming Mrs. Franklin, L'Engle gave up the stage in favor of the typewriter. In the years her three children were growing up, she wrote four more novels. Hugh Franklin temporarily retired from the theater, and the family moved to western Connecticut and for ten years ran a general store. Her book \u003ci\u003eMeet the Austins\u003c\/i\u003e, an American Library Association Notable Children's Book of 1960, was based on this experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer science fantasy classic \u003ci\u003eA Wrinkle in Time\u003c\/i\u003e was awarded the 1963 Newbery Medal.
