TRIPLE PEEL

Today, I am excited to be taking part in the 50 Years, 50 Days, 50 Blogs Tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle.

When I was asked to create an alternate cover for A Wrinkle in Time, it seemed like a daunting task. Such a well-known and popular book, I don’t know if there’s any way to do it justice, mostly because I love the original cover from when it was published 50 years ago so much. For my cover, I chose to showcase a tesseract (a wrinkle in time) in which the characters are able to travel through space and time. I’m also fairly sure a Newbury award shouldn’t be sliced into, but you can’t control those tesseracts!

 Find out for yourself what there is to love about Charles Wallace and A Wrinkle in Time in the new 50th anniversary edition, now in stores everywhere!

I’m not sure how I feel about this cover. It is beautifully abstract and reminds me of the original Ellen Raskin cover, but my favorite cover art was done by Leo and Diane Dillon. That being said, I might just have to get the new edition for all those new features. 

In case you hadn’t guessed already, A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books (my gmail address is actually a reference to it haha). Meg Murry: childhood hero forever. 

ETA: Oh my goodness, Hope Larson is doing a graphic novel? ALL MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE.
