Baby's first sci-fi with a simple theme: love conquers evil. All of the characters are a fascinating combination of grotesque and beautiful that I can't recall any other children's novel including — I'm inclined to say that effect is unique to L'Engle. It's a great, surprisingly nuanced novel that I'd recommend having in any children's library.
