“Madeline” was for babies, plus she was French, and, like, only 5 years old. I loved Meg Murry, the daughter in “A Wrinkle in Time,” and because I loved her so much, I convinced myself that she had red hair. In actuality, her hair was brown, but her mother had beautiful auburn hair and violet eyes, and I always thought that if Meg really concentrated, she could grow her hair red. Why not? It couldn’t be any harder than time-traveling using a tesseract.
