Product 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.

 Wrinkle in Time book May 15, 2008
Emily R. Dubose (AR, USA)
Great book, exactly what I wanted. Shipped a little later than I'd expected but was in as-new condition. Thanks!
 Not for Fourth Graders May 7, 2008
Dear Readers,
A Wrinkle in Time is a great book for young adults and older. This book is very interesting because you feel like you're inside the book trying to destroy Camazotz or being with a eight feet tall beast. I don't recommend this book for children because there is a lot of confusing words. So if you are under the age of ten, don't read this book... yet. If you are older, go ahead, and I think you will like this book.
No bodiless brain needed to enjoy this book! April 23, 2008
A Wrinkle in Time was written by Madeleine L'Engle. It was first published in 1962.
The story's main characters are Meg, her younger brother Charles Wallace, and her friend Calvin. One night when Meg and Calvin are out for a walk, they are met by three old ladies named Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which. The three Ladies, who are actually Celestial Creatures, take Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin on a journey to fight a dark shadow and to find Meg's and Charles' father, who disappeared while he was on a secret mission for the government.
They found their father being held prisoner on a planet called Camazots, where they also discovered that the source of the dark shadow was a bodiless brain called IT. Their father had been blinded and was being held in a solid cell. With the help of Mrs. Who's glasses, that she had so graciously given to Meg, her father was able to see again as they helped him escape from the solid chamber. The only problem was that Charles Wallace had fallen under IT's spell, which also had captured the minds of all the residents of Camazots.
Charles Wallace led them to the location of IT in a giant dome that pulsed with red beams. When IT tried to get Meg, Calvin, and her father to fall under his spell, Meg's father "tesseracted" (a form of traveling through space and time) them to the planet Ixchel where they were cared for. All but Charles Wallace were there and the only one who could save him was Meg. She went back to Camazots alone to try and rescue him. While she was there she discovered that you can conquer anything with love, and that's how she saved her brother. Mrs. Who, Mrs. What, and Mrs. Which transported them home to a time before they even left for the journey.
I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the other four books in the Time Quintet. I think it is especially great for children because it really challenges you to use your imagination. I liked the fact that they traveled through space because space travel has always been interesting to me. This book pulls you in to the story making you feel like you are one of the characters and puts you on the edge of your seat. I recommend this book to mainly kids of 8-12 years of age.

wonderful children's story April 23, 2008
Rosemary (chicago, illinois)
I bought this book because it is referenced on "Lost". It is a wonderful, quick read. More of a children's book than for adults.
