Illustrated by
Hope Larson.
This slim volume shows Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace attending a school for beings with special abilities. Fans will recognize L'Engle's voice as well as incidents from A Wind in the Door, which was later developed from this short story. Larson's black-and-white drawings add accessibility, but the sophisticated language is likely to appeal to a much older audience than the chapter-book packaging assumes.
