On September 6, 2007 Madeleine L'Engle passed away. For many a young fanboy (and fangurl) Madeleine's novel A Wrinkle in Time served as a early introduction into the world of science fiction. She wrote the book between 1959 and 1960, but after at least 26 rejections from publishers the book came out in 1962 and went on to win many awards and serve as an inspiration to generations of kids. Thank you Mrs. Madeleine!
