Recommended by Tahleen @ Tahleen’s Mixed-Up Files:

• When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead: An excellent historical fiction book (sort of) with a dash of sci-fi on its own, but if you loved A Wrinkle in Time it’s even better. There’s a good reason it won the Newbery.
• Sequels to A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle: We find out what happens to Meg, Calvin, Charles Wallace, as well as their family and the next generation. Maybe they weren’t as good, but they’re definitely worth reading.
