The incomparable number 139, May 2013.

Welcome back to The Incomparable podcast.

I'm your host, Jason Snell, and tonight we're convening an interesting collection of panelists to have, for an interesting topic, I would say.

We're going to talk about A Rinkle in Time, the classic children's book, the first in what apparently is a series of five books on this subject.

But I remember none of them but the first one and only read, I think, one of the others.

But the newspeg here, the thing that makes this extra relevant for today's audiences is that recently Hope Larson created a graphic novel adaptation that I also am holding.

I have each of them in one hand right now.

Many of us remember this book from our childhood.

In fact, I am holding a 1978 Del Yearling edition of

A Wrinkle in Time with the childlike handwriting of my wife on the inside

from when she lived in Hollywood, California, when she was nine years old.

And then, of course, the new Hope Larson. So we're going to talk about this book,

and who knows where it will take us. My panelists to discuss this are Lisa Schmeiser, you heard her laughing.

Hi, Lisa.
