It's also a book Chelsea Clinton, daughter to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, made note of during her Democratic National Convention speech on Thursday night. The younger Clinton said she was a huge fan of *A Wrinkle In Time* as a child, and immediately afterward sales of the book spiked. The book's sales have even surpassed those of the infamous *Art of the Deal* by Donald Trump. The Madeleine L'Engle young adult novel ranked at #96 on the Amazon Best Selling Books list at the time of this writing (though it was a bit higher when [Slate first wrote](http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2016/07/29/chelsea_clinton_s_speech_made_people_buy_a_wrinkle_in_time_and_other_books.html?wpsrc=sh_all_dt_tw_top) about the jump on Friday morning). *The* *Art of the Deal* did not rank in the top 100--it was around #350 or so. To be fair, *The Art of the Deal* did spend 48 weeks at the top of the *New York Times*' [best sellers list](http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all), but it's still not the "best selling [business book](http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jul/06/donald-trump/donald-trumps-art-deal-best-selling-business-book-/) of all time" as Trump would have it. The book's sales figures widely vary depending on your source, ranging from more than a million copies sold to 184,000 copies since 2001. Of course, book sales aren't predictors of national election outcomes. But if you're curious: the following political books rank within the top 10 on Amazon's list: - *Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary* (2) - *Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate* (4) - *Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party* (7) ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/chelsea-clinton-a-wrinkle-in-time-sales/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Lifestyle", "item": "https://money.com/lifestyle/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Movies", "item": "https://money.com/movies/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "People Are Buying the Book Mentioned in Chelsea Clinton's DNC Speech Like Crazy" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/chelsea-clinton-a-wrinkle-in-time-sales/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/chelsea-clinton-a-wrinkle-in-time-sales/", "name": "People Are Buying the Book Mentioned in Chelsea Clinton's DNC Speech Like Crazy", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-07-29T19:23:55.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/chelsea-clinton-a-wrinkle-in-time-sales/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/chelsea-clinton-a-wrinkle-in-time-sales/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2016-07-29T19:23:55.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "People Are Buying the Book Mentioned in Chelsea Clinton's DNC Speech Like Crazy", "articleSection": "Lifestyle", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/07/gettyimages-584446160.jpg", "width": 5160, "height": 3472, "caption": "The 2016 Democratic National Convention" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Alexandra Mondalek", "url": "https://money.com/author/alexandra-mondalek/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/alexandra-mondalek/#author", "sameAs": [ "https://x.com/amondalek" ] } ], "publisher": "https://money.com/#organization", "datePublished": "2016-07-29T19:23:55.000Z", "description": "Chelsea Clinton referenced one of her favorite childhood books in her DNC speech Thursday night, and sales have soared.", "abstract": "Chelsea Clinton referenced one of her favorite childhood books in her DNC speech Thursday night, and sales have soared.", "@id": "https://money.com/chelsea-clinton-a-wrinkle-in-time-sales/", "inLanguage": "en-US", "dateModified": "2016-07-29T19:23:55.000Z", "wordCount": 275, "keywords": [ "art of the deal", "Books", "chelsea clinton", "Donald Trump", "Election 2016", "Hillary Clinton", "pubdesk" ], "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Lifestyle", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestyle" ] }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Film", "sameAs": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film" ] } ] } ] } ```
