Do you remember the first time you picked up this book? I know I was about 11 years old, and my school library had a worn copy with the centaur and rainbow on the cover. I was intrigued (especially after discovering Harry Potter and Tamora Pierce) and I fell in love pretty quickly. A Wrinkle in Time is one of those books that I've thought about a lot over the years, but not one I've re-read enough.

How did you first discover A Wrinkle in Time? And if you haven't read it yet, definitely don't hesitate to pick up one of these beautiful new copies!
