lillian13Damn it.
She was one of the writers that made me see SF and writing in a totally different way. I'd grown up on an older generation of YA books--Heinlein, Norton, etc.--and A Wrinkle in Time was a revelation.
It was about kids who weren't my parents! Weird kids! With math! I adored all of them and I probably have significant portions of the first three books imprinted in my DNA. Heck, I even liked the miniseries they did a few years ago.
She will be missed.
