by Madeline L'EngleThe story.
A Wrinkle in Time is about three children, Meg and Charles Wallace Murry and Calvin O’Keefe, who go on a mission to save the Murry’s father. Three beings in the form of three women help the children go find the Murry’s father, using time travel, on a distant planet and they help fight an evil called IT that takes over people's minds and free agency, and individuality. Sounds familiar?
My thoughts.
Quite an enjoyable fast read with a great story and lots of adventure...the novel has several underlying themes: a quest for unknown places; the never ending battle of good and evil; the desire to be accepted regardless of looks, personality, or family; the need for love; the power of love to heal and encourage; the courage to risk everything when it becomes necessary; the interconnectedness of all creatures; and the desire to discover what else is out there in the universe.
Great for 12 and up.
