My Review and Recommendation:
Meg, her younger brother Charles, and her friend Calvin will take a journey to a land of the unknown to rescue Meg's father. This is a journey that will require courage and determination - and one that will determine the state of the universe as well as the fate of Meg's father Mr. Murry. This science fiction novel is recommended for teens, and this book is perfect for a school, home or public library.
What happens when the following are combined?
- A missing father named Mr. Murry
- An awkward and lonely teenage girl named Meg
- An extremely bright and articulate boy named Charles (but a late bloomer)
- A neighbor named Mrs. Whatsit
- Two other Whatsit’s (what is a whatsit you might be thinking?)
- A neighborhood friend
- A great evil spirit called the Dark Thing
- A far away planet
- Three kids will travel to find him
- Lost in space and time or lost in a wrinkle?
- They will learn about a far away land and space
- They will fight against evil.
Are you wondering will evil prevail? Will the three kids return to their own planet? Is this what exists in A Wrinkle in Time?
