A Wrinkle in Time is the story of Meg Murry, a high-school-aged girl who is transported on an adventure through time and space with her younger brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin O'Keefe to rescue her father, a gifted scientist, from the evil forces that hold him prisoner on another planet. I loved this book so much. That is why I read the second. The second book (A Wind In The Door) isn't as good as the first but it is still good. Although, I started to read the third book and didn't like it, but that's just my opinion.

The author of the book “A Wrinkle in Time” is Madeleine L’Engle. This book is known as children’s literature but all ages can read it. At the beginning it starts with Meg in her room in the attic during a thunderstorm. She goes downstairs and finds the intelligent Charles Wallace. Then Mrs Murry the mom joins them and she talks about the absence of her husband, Mr. Murry. Charles Wallace, Meg and a kid from school, Calvin O’Keefe meet Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which. Meg and the others go on a quest throughout the universe and planets with some guidance from the witches to find Meg’s father. Some topics addressed in this book are wisdom, knowledge, communication, fate, good vs. evil, love, and most importantly time. My evaluation of “A Wrinkle in Time” is that it’s an easy read and the author does a great job describing the events, characters and the setting of different places including the planets Uriel, Orien, and Camazotz throughout the story. In my opinion, some of the English is old and is not used in many books created to this day. This took me on an adventure of time and space. I definitely recommend this book to people who don’t mind reading Children’s literature or old English writing. I rate this book a 4 stars because it has a good plot and keeps you hooked page by page waiting to see what will happen next. ~Mary Grace B.
My whole grade read this book in grade 6. I'm so glad I did cuz the words used expanded my volcabulary but made someone in class strengthen his belief in time travel. My favourite word in the book (yes, I have a favourite word) is teseract (SPOILER - it's how the main characters travelled through space in seconds). If you like sci-fi, READ THIS IMMEDIATELY!
