A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle was first published by Farrar, Straus and Cudahy in 1962 after being rejected by at least 26 publishers, many of whom felt the book was too complex or controversial for children's literature. Despite the initial skepticism, the novel quickly gained acclaim, winning the prestigious Newbery Medal in 1963. (Anatomy of Wonder II, 662).

Rejected by several publishers for being too complex, this title has amply proven LâEngleâs belief that âchildren are excited by new ideasâ and has been credited with bringing science fiction into the mainstream of childrenâs literature. This is LâEngleâs best workâ (Silvey, 401). A Wrinkle in Time is one of the most significant novels of our time. "A book that every person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a better place" (Cory Doctorow). It went on to win a Newbery Medal, Sequoyah Book Award, and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. It is the basis for the film directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Reese Witherspoon, Zach Galifianakis, and Oprah Winfrey.
