SynopsisThis 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), in search of Meg's missing father., Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture. 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. A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters , and An Acceptable Time . A Wrinkle in Time is soon to be a movie from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling. This title has Common Core connections.

Hers were the first books I read that mixed math and magic, the quest and the quantum." --Scott Westerfeld " A Wrinkle in Time taught me that you can tackle even the deepest and most slippery concepts of physics and philosophy in fiction for young readers. It's a great lesson for all writers, and a tough tesseract to follow." --David Lubar "A coming of age fantasy story that sympathizes with typical teen girl awkwardness and insecurity, highlighting courage, resourcefulness and the importance of famiyl ties as key to overcoming them." --Carol Platt Liebau, author, in the New York Post "An exhilarating experience." -- Kirkus Reviews "This imaginative book will be read for a long time into the future." -- Children's Literature Books by Madeleine L'Engle A Wrinkle in Time Quintet A Wrinkle in Time A Wind in the Door A Swiftly Tilting Planet Many Waters An Acceptable Time A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Madeleine L'Engle; adapted & illustrated by Hope Larson: A graphic novel adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic.

Replacement for Missing Book
I have the 5- book boxed set of the Wrinkle in Time series and it was missing the first book! This is the matching edition of that book, thus completing the quintet. Arrived quickly and condition is as stated. My set is complete! Now to re-read them all...Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

An age-old theme: Good Vs. Evil
I bought and read this book on recommendation from a friend, knowing that it was written for the young teenagers back in the 60's. The characters and story were lively, and moved right along. The story follows a common theme: good vs. evil, and also parallels The Wizard of Oz. I did find it interesting that the depiction of 'evil' in this story has every feature of communism, absolute power and control over everything. Read it, I think you'll see the same communist agenda and tactics that are surfacing in US culture, society and politics.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

This is truly a good book. The school required us to have it so my seventh grader read it and she loved it so much.
Really really good book. It was required by the school for us to purchase this and have my seventh grader read it. She loved it because it’s an amazing great story pot. She couldn’t put it down and wants to read it again.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great pre-teen book
I bought these books for my granddaughters class so each kid could have their own copy to read and not have to share. The books were a good deal, arrived quickly and were in good condition. This book is a good read for 10-13 year olds.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A True Classic in Children's and Adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy Fiction!
Despite opening with the most clichéd line in fiction, Madeleine L'Engle has written one of the most not only engaging and exciting works of fiction, but one that is from a quantum physics standpoint, before her time. It is thought provoking as well as entertaining. Adults and children alike can enjoy this well spun tale of the eternal battle of good and evil. Before Harry Potter came on the scene, the Wrinkle in Time books (yes, books, plural) were delighting readers. The difference is, there wasn't social media at the time to help generate the buzz that Harry Potter got. Ler's hope the up=coming film does the book justice and will encourage a new generation to pick up the books to read them for themselves. I know they are what turned my son on to reading.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
