“A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle follows Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O’Keefe as they journey through time and space. The trio is guided by three mysterious celestial beings: Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Who. Their mission is to rescue Meg’s father, who has been captured by an evil force called IT. Along the way, they visit strange planets and encounter various challenges.
I liked the unique characters and the interesting plot. The concepts of time travel and different worlds were fascinating to me. This book may be hard for young readers to follow because the plot sometimes gets confusing. For upper elementary school and middle school readers.
