Description

It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.

"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."

A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal.

    I’m confused because there’s no swears but people say there is. Also, I haven’t seen any grammar errors but I’m not thoroughly analyzing it or anything. Really good book. Just to clarify, a tesseract is a 4D shape not 5d. They should be saying hypercube. Amazing though.

    The book is terribly written! There are tons of grammar errors! It’s straight up trash! I don’t recommend at all! The movie is way better. I absolutely hate movies. I read the books. This is a time where it is vise versa, though! I read encyclopedias, textbooks, etc. for fun. Now, most people think those are boring, but I think otherwise. I like boring books, but this one was TERRIBLE! (There is also cussing which in I’m not okay with.)

    Words can't describe this book. The authors brain to not come up with it( because pieces were here all along) but to put it together and in words... Indescribable. Read it.

  • Fun Read

    This book kept appearing as one to reread as an adult. I never read it as a kid so glad I finally got to it. Lovely story of good and evil not unlike the comparison of God and the Devil. God being love and the light and joy of happiness and of course the dark forces of evil. Loved the time travel experience for the children to save their father. Hope children today still get a chance to read this one.

  • Love it 💕
