5By Customer103234I'm a big fan of books like this, where there's fantasy but some reality mixed in to help you connect. I'm so excited to finish the series. I'm so addicted and I think this is good for ALL ages!Awesome
5By PiechipsThis is a great book that expresses a variety of ideas that are significant for working together with others in life. It has precise detail and paints the feeling of every character and situation inside and helps the reader relate to their own life with friends, family and adventure. A perfect book for a juvenile/pre-teen reader.Very Good!
5By I'm watching everbody hates ChrisMy friend and I read this book just finished yesterday I love this book better than the first one now I'm on the third book this is a very complicated book so you should be 11 or up I think because it talks about mitochondria and farandole and that's tricky! Great book!A Wind in the Door is brilliant
5By shidoshinemesisL'Engle at her best. Her ability to write for children as well as adults is unsurpassed. She injects enough spirituality and religious quotes to interest young minds but not enough to turn away those who aren't interested in such. At the time of writing her scientific knowledge was commendable with the usage of mitochondria and the unseen farandole. It got me interested in human biology when I was in middle school...and with the fact that these microscopic organisms were real and had been proven I'm the scientific community, it made the whole story that much more easy to believe. I say again, BRILLIANT.
