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 be on my way. Speaking of way, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract".
Meg's father had been experimenting with this fifth dimension of time travel when he mysteriously disappeared. Now the time has come for Meg, her friend Calvin, and Charles Wallace to rescue him. But can they outwit the forces of evil they will encounter on their heart-stopping journey through space?

My Thoughts...
The book "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeline L'Engle is about the adventure of siblings Meg and Charles Wallace Murry and their classmate Calvin O'Keefe in which they try to rescue Meg and Charles's father. It is an exciting science fiction novel that was first published back in 1962. Since 1962, the book has been made into a television series, movie, play, opera and graphic novel.
After a troubled girl named Meg and her five-year old genius brother Charles Wallace's father mysteriously disappears while experimenting with the tesseract, they are joined by three immortal creatures, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs. Which, alongside Meg's classmate Calvin O'Keefe to help save him. Due to the fact that their father is being imprisoned on another planet, the three Mrs. W's transport Meg, Charles and Calvin to the planet of Camazotz where they must take on the evil leader "IT".
Although "IT" is a giant disembodied brain, "IT" is much smarter than Charles Wallace and soon possesses Charles and makes him into a robot-like creature. What had started as a rescue mission for Meg and Charles's father turns into a rescue mission for Charles too. This book ends in a way one must only read!
Not being a very big reader, I was lost trying to choose a book for my ISP. I was very glad Mrs. G. recommended to me "A Wrinkle in Time". The book is interesting, easy to read and unique. After reading this book, I have no complaints and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
