I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and have taught English classes for many years. I have loved reading since I read my first chapter book at age 7. I soon discovered science fiction and fantasy and have been in love with these genres ever since. More than anything else I believe instilling a love for good literature and reading helps children develop imagination, good character, and a lifelong habit of learning. This book, 'A Wrinkle in Time', was my introduction to science fiction as a child. It continues to be one of my favorite books. Reviews
