L'Engle's stuff made me devour even more sci-fi when I was a kid.

I was so sad when I heard about her death.

I am also sad to hear about L'Engle, and who did I think of right away when I learned about her passing, but you, J9. I knew you would be equally bummed.

But her legacy lives on. My fourth grader is going to be doing tesselations this year and they have a science fiction/science fact reading curriculum set for later in the year. What better way to remember Ms. L'Engle than through both these "windy" doors?

Well, the comment was at the end of the form letter, which said “It hs been a busy time of late, and our publishing schedule is currently full. We wish this were not the case.” You know, the usual. Which I assume is why they aren’t publishing it.
Still, I’d much rather a comment than an anonymous form! At least it’s proof someone read it :)I have to get my warm fuzzies from someplace, right?
About L’Engle: I know. She’s a superheroine of sci-fi/fantasy for sure.

I never understand comments like that. If it's wonderfully original, then why aren't they publishing it? I would rather just get the form letter. But that's just me. :)

L'Engle was brilliant. I'm read to read the Time series again.
