Madeleine L'Engle Knihy

Třináctileté Meg Murryové se poslední dobou moc nevede. Připadá si nemožná, nehezká, ve škole se jí nedaří, nikam nezapadá. O jejím pětiletém bratru Charlesovi kolují ošklivé pomluvy, a ke všemu musí poslouchat vlezlé narážky na záhadné zmizení svého táty, talentovaného fyzika, který se pořád nevrací. Jedné temné bouřlivé noci ale do domu Murryových zavítá nečekaná, podivná návštěva – paní Kdovíco. Jak se ukáže, paní Kdovíco má ještě dvě stejně podivné přítelkyně, a všechny tři chtějí Meg a Charlesovi pomoct najít tátu. Aby se za ním ale obě děti dostaly, musí se vydat na nebezpečnou cestu napříč prostorem a časem a za pomoci svého kamaráda Calvina svést bitvu s temnotou, která postupně zahaluje celý vesmír. Madeleine L'Engle se podařilo stvořit mimořádný nadčasový příběh, který se stal opakovaně vydávanou klasikou žánru na pomezí sci-fi a fantasy pro mladé čtenáře. V roce 2018 uvádí společnost Walt Disney Pictures film natočený podle tohoto oceňovaného díla.

Rok poté, co jsme se rozloučili s hrdiny knihy V pasti času, začíná její pokračování. Meg Murryová se jednoho podzimního odpoledne vrátí ze školy a její malý bratr Charles Wallace, o kterého se poslední dobou pokouší jakási choroba, jí oznámí, že v zeleninové zahrádce viděl draky. Když se následující noci Meg, Charles a jejich kamarád Calvin vydají zahradu prozkoumat, setkají se tam s tajemným Učitelem. Ten jim vysvětlí, že domnělí draci jsou ve skutečnosti podivuhodní cherubíni, kteří spolu s ním přišli na pomoc vážně nemocnému Charlesovi – a zároveň i celému vesmíru. Meg, Charlese, Calvina i jejich nové spojence čeká další dobrodružná cesta a další bitva, v níž brání dobro proti zlu.
