Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Wind In The Door by Madeleine L'Engle is the direct sequel to A Wrinkle in Time. Now in school, Charles Wallace has to deal with bullying, in which the school principal, Mr. Jenkins, refuses to intervene. He also suffers from a strange illness that affects the "farandolae" living in his mitochondria, or so Mrs. Murry believes. Charles Wallace's claim of seeing dragons in the garden doesn't help Meg's worries either.However, it turns out that he is right—sort of. The "dragons" are in fact the cherubim Proginoskes, or "Progo" for short. Meg and Calvin also encounter Blajeny, a "Teacher" who informs them of the Echthroi, beings that seek to destroy the entire universe. The Echthroi are in the process of destroying Charles Wallace's farandolae. Meg, Calvin, Progo, and a disbelieving Mr. Jenkins are sent on a mission to combat the Echthroi and save Charles Wallace's life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Preceded by A Wrinkle in Time Followed by A Swiftly Tilting Planet | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| A Wind in the Door / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Averted. When Progo and Blajeny show up, Meg, Calvin, and Charles don't question the presence of these aliens at all. Granted, they've been already been through some weird stuff already, but they trust Blajeny pretty fast for someone they just met. | |

Angelic Abomination | |
| A Wind in the Door / int_5d317d1b | comment |
Angelic Abomination: Proginoskes looks the part - Mr. Jenkins even faints when he sees him fully for the first time. But he's utterly committed to the side of the Light until he Xes himself at the end as a Heroic Sacrifice. The real abominations - literally hell-spawned - are the Echthroi. | |

Ambition Is Evil: When Meg is mystified at the actions of the farandolae, Mr. Jenkins explains that, for some, ambition is an end in and of itself. | |

Adults Are Useless: Subverted with Mr. Jenkins. He starts out as a perfect example of the trope but goes on to save the kids. | |
