A Wrinkle in Time was written by Madeline L'engle. There is no illustrator for this book, but it won a Newbery medal. It was published in 1962. It uses math and science concepts, but you don't need to be a math whiz to enjoy it.A Wrinkle in Time has a very interesting plot. Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O'Keefe are told by three mysterious ladies, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, to go to the strange planet Camazotz to rescue Meg's father. Along the way, Charles Wallace falls into IT, a large disembodied brain. Meg and Calvin not only have to save Mr. Murry, but now they have to save Charles Wallace.
My favorite part of A Wrinkle in Time is when Meg Murry sets out to save her brother. Mrs. Whatsit gave Meg her love, and Mrs. Who gave something to Meg that IT didn't have. Meg arrives where Charles Wallace is and Charles immediately tells Meg that she has nothing IT doesn't have. Meg contradicts. What will happen? Will Meg succeed in saving Charles Wallace? Find out in A Wrinkle in Time!
Do you know the story about "who's on first?". I think you would like it, especially since you liked A Wrinkle In Time!
