A Wind in the Door is a young adult science fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle. It is a companion book to A Wrinkle in Time, and part of the Time Quartet (and by extension the Time Quintet).

I gave it three mostly because I'm too old and this goes into too much detail for me, but if I were 10-12 this would be very nice. Despite the spirituality or religious-ness, I do like the parts like Communication is with sound and talking, Communion is without. I like the feeling at a communion too. And parts where all must try to not put themselves at the centre of the universe and to find and accept their places, the dance-sing of life and creation. And parts like he's named so where or when or how or sight or motion doesn't matter anymore, he will always be. Well the last one is a bit controversial for me but it is a way of comforting. It's a way to move on.
