"A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read it so often, I know it by heart." --Meg Cabot

Late one night, three otherworldly creatures appear and sweep Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe away on a mission to save Mr. Murray, who has gone missing while doing top-secret work for the government. They travel via tesseract--a wrinkle that transports one across space and time--to the planet Camazotz, where Mr. Murray is being held captive. There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murray but the safety of the whole universe.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet.

Includes an appreciation by Anna Quindlen and a personal interview with Madeleine L'Engle.

I know this is a kids book but....

I am 48 years old and just read this book for the first time. I like it so much I want to by the whole series in hardcover and donate the paperback copy I have to the the little community book exchange cabinet. This is a great book for kids and adults alike, although I dont think kids will grasp the heaviness of it and the control through conformity message it has.

Beautiful Book

I have loved this book since the first time I read it, many, many, MANY times ago. It's intriguing, suspenseful, and well written. Containing humor and sentiment at just the right moments, combined with the unforgettable characters and imaginative atmospheres L'Engle paints so vividly, it's one of my favorite and definitely deserves the awards it's been given.

It was a dark and stormy night.

Meg Murray and her brother Charles Wallace must go on an adventure to save their father and the universe. Along with Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which, they go on an adventure that will change them forever, but what if they don't get there in time? will they be able to save their father still?, and what sinister evils are hidden on the strange world their father is held captive on? Find out when you read A Wrinkle in Time! I really enjoyed I read it in a day, because I couldn't put it down!
