Dance in the Desert, an illustrated, timeless, allegorical wonder of a book  

This past Christmas season I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas with our youngest child. I was hoping that the spirit of Linus Van Pelt would move him. After reading Dance in the Desert by Madeleine L’Engle, it could be more appropriate for him to be moved by that spirit. Dance in the Desert has been revised, abridged, and re-released after 55 years. Middle school readers will know L’Engle from A Winkle in Time, which is one of the first books they’re required to read. Dance in the Desert is from her early days as a writer, and displays a sense of wonder, optimism and joy, that’s tempered with the rough edges of life.

Dance in the Desert is re-released after 55 years and tells a fanciful story, with an allegory-if you want it, about family, bravery and wonder.
To Christmas or not-Christmas, that is the question
