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! The new, 50th anniversary edition of A Wrinkle in Time includes: Frontispiece photo*† Photo scrapbook with approximately 10 photos*† Manuscript pages*† Letter from 1963 Caldecott winner, Ezra Jack Keats*† New introduction by Katherine Paterson, US National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature † New afterword by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Voiklis including six never-before-seen photos † Murry-O’Keefe family tree with new artwork † Madeleine L’Engle’s Newbery acceptance speech * Unique to this edition† never previously published Be sure to check out the Wrinkle in Time facebook page & visit the other blogs on the 50 blog tour!
