Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And...I just got a massive headache. I hope that the yoghurt's not a trigger, but I will need to test it again. Much closer to an ER visit next time, though.

Speaking of headaches, here's an app that lets you compare relative frames-per-second animations, up to your monitor's refresh rate (mine tops out at 60). I'd poke at it more when I didn't feel a hair's breadth away from spontaneous epilepsy.

I am looking forward to the day next week when I can expect to NOT be wearing clavamox.

Our wings are not tired.
I got a really fabulous birthday dinner last night here: [link]
So glad the winner was Camino! I love that place. Also, my cousin thought you were "rad." Happy Birthday (again!)!
Oh, Homer. I am glad you're getting in some good laptime now, Jesse. xoxo to you both.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Skipping to ask what age range is A Wrinkle In Time good for? Is 7 too young?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Probably a little too young, but it depends on the kid.

I just made Casper very upset by telling her I would not be buying expensive Christmas presents (from the American Girl doll catalog) for our neighbors. Where did she get the idea we might? We've never given presents beyond, like, a plate of cookies to people outside of our family. I also hastily emailed my neighbor to make sure we were on the same page about this.
It's making me terrified that Casper will pitch fits if she doesn't get one of her top choices from the AG catalog for Christmas. The top choices are mostly over $80 (she's obsessed with the furniture and miniature fake food). We talked just today about getting her Minecraft and a guitar. I am so SICK of American Girl and its prices. I am so sick of toys in my house.

I read A Wrinkle in Time in 3rd grade, which would have put me at 8, I think. I think I was definitely ahead of the curve in reading it at that age, because my teacher assigned it to me for a book report in 6th grade. But I agree with Hil, 7 is probably a bit young, unless of course we're talking about a super smart kid.

Seven is too young to read A Wrinkle in Time by oneself (for the average 7), but it could probably be read aloud at that age for many.
