I haven't watched the movie yet... being ill has been so draining that I haven't made it to the main cinema lately. But my office mate said that the main thing that struck her about it was that apparently they never anticipated making a sequel (or sequels) since the movie only introduces two siblings and not all four that are in the book series and apparently go on adventures together in ever changing combinations from book to book. Now I haven't even read the books to be fair. I heard a lot about Madeleine L'Engle though and maybe I will some day.

Yeah, I mentioned the missing twin brothers in a previous entry. But if my memory is correct, there are two books after A Wrinkle in Time that star Meg and Charles Wallace here the twins don't play a major role, so there could be sequels.

I quite enjoyed Madeleine L'Engle's books, but she was never one of my favorite authors.
