A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle is an adventure/fantasy genre of book that tells the story of a middle-school aged girl named Margaret (Meg for short). Meg is a pretty average kid, but what isn’t average about her is her peculiar family…

Meg’s mother, Dr. Kate Murry, is a beautiful woman and a really smart scientist, but she’s also an amazing mom. Meg is the eldest of four children, the others being Sandy and Dennys (twins), and Charles Wallace, whose knowledge and wisdom are far beyond his years. He has an uncanny ability of being able to read Meg and her mother’s minds, and even predicting their near future (to some extent). Meg’s father (Dr. Alex Murry) is also a scientist, but he has been missing for almost an entire year. It’s almost as if he disappeared into thin air…

From a dark and stormy night holed up in Meg’s bedroom to alternate planets across the universe, this book tells the story of Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin as they set out to find Meg’s father and bring him home, discovering strange planets, alternate beings and the peculiar and unique experience of time traveling (or otherwise called ‘tessering’ in the book) along the way.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading the Artemis Fowl and/or Percy Jackson series. It’s not as intense of a read as the other books I’ve mentioned, but it’s still an interesting book and definitely worth reading. Consider reading the other four books in this series (‘A Wind in The Door’ ‘A Swiftly Tilting Planet’ ‘Many Waters’ and ‘An Acceptable Time’) if you enjoyed reading this book.
