I liked A Wrinkle in Time. But I think that's all I ever read from her so far.

I loved A Wrinkle In Time, but the sequels were very very weird. A Wind At The Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet weren't exactly bad, per se, but they were very strange and nothing like the first book (they make absolutely no reference to the events of A Wrinkle In Time, at all).

I liked A Swiftly Tilting Planet...it was a little confusing the first time I read it through, but I liked the concept of the ripple effect through time (i.e. how a series of seemingly insignificant actions can completely change the future).
