I remember the 'controversy' of Blume's books...the Me Margaret one played very strongly in my social group. Frankly, when I read it, I was utterly baffled by the tone she took...I couldnt believe that a girl was actually looking forward to something like that...so the book came across as an utter lie to me.

L'Engle, however was magical and my absolute favorite...that is, until I picked up this weirdly titled book called "The Hobbit." Forgot all about L'Engle then...

I was and still am a L'Engle fan. She had such a wonderful imagination and worked so many concepts into her writing. You really had to think. Like when they try to land on the two dimentional planet. Humans are three dimentional. We can't do that.

Blume...she liked controversy in just about everything she wrote and most of it was written badly. It was social propaganda for pre-teens if you ask me.
