(by Madeleine L' Engle) Reader Review
Reviewer Rebecca L. Slattery from Lebanon ME, USA.
A Wrinkle In Time, By Madeleine L' Engle is about Meg, a very cautious and frightened girl, who is about to embark on the wildest adventure of her life. The people that are going to help her on her quest to find her father are Charles Wallace, Calvin, and three out-of-this-world ladies named Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which. On their adventure they come up upon a dark force called the Black Thing, Who symbolizes evil. They also encounter IT a thing that Meg has to defeat in order to save the ones she loves. It produces evil which produces the Black Thing.
The unique setting stood out because of the weird places they visit and how descriptive the author made every place. The places they traveled were otherworldly as in they travel to other planets. The setting was also very strange and very confusing; It takes awhile to understand what was going on. I thought this book was very good full of detail but it went very slow. it took me forever to finish it because of the amount of details the author had given.
I would recommend this book to people with vivid imaginations and people that are interested in science fiction fantasy. I would also recommend this book to young children or parents who would read it to their young children. I also recommend this book to anyone that is into weird things.

Fantasy + Science Fiction = Science Fictansy?
A
Wrinkle
in
Time
is the best book I have ever read. I read it when I was in 4th grade and I thought it was an amazing piece of work. Ms. L'Engle really does a great job of bringing out the personality in the characters in the book. The book does have some kind of weird fantasy parts, but those parts put together a wonderful masterpiece of science fiction will just blow you away. I recommend this book to both boys and girls of all ages (that includes adults) and you should read it as soon as possible!
A Wrinkle In Time Clear Joy!
"It was a dark and stormy night. In her attic bedroom Margret Murry, wrapped in an old patchwood quilt sat on the foot of her bed and watched the trees tossing in the frenzied lashing of the wind. Behind the trees clouds scudded frantically across the sky. Every few moments the moon ripped through them creating wraithlike shadows that raced along the ground." That was only the very beginning of the amazing adventures book, A
Wrinkle
in
Time
, by Madeleine L'engle.
In this first chapter, A Wrinkle in Time introduces us to three kids named Charles Wallace, the youngest of the group, Margret Murry, the second oldest of the group and Charles Wallace's older sister, and last but not least, Calvin O'Keefe, a boy who is from a horrid family that beats their children! They are all on a mission to find their father, who got lost in time and space while tessering, which is a type of travel through the fifth dimension.
I think this book is a great read for fantasy lovers and people who love suspense and adventure. This book is exiting, especially when they are tessering and they go to a planet called Camzotz. It is very dull, plain and gray on Camzotz, which makes it very scary for the three kids. The three kids have to rescue their father, and they THINK their father is on Camzotz but they're not positive. So when they get there, they figure out that everyone is being mind controlled by the evil brain, IT! Will they rescue their father and defeat IT, or will they will be mind controlled by IT and never see their family again?!
This book is very suspenseful, which makes it easy for you to lose track of where the characters are and what they are doing. So you have to read slowly and steadily to understand this adventure book. You never know what type of adventure is around the corner for this book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat with adventure, love and being trustworthy to your family.
"Did a shadow fall across the moon or did the moon simply go out, extinguished as abruptly and completely as a candle? There was still the sound of leaves, a terrified, terrifying rushing. All light was gone. Meg felt that Calvin was being torn from her. When she reached out for him her fingers touched nothing, she screamed out `Charles!' and whether it was to help him or for him to help her, she did not know. The word was flung back on her throat and she choked on it." There is more to this exciting chapter, but I had to narrow it down! That is what I mean by adventures. The quote from the book was when the three kids were tessering through time and space to go to the planet Uriel in chapter 4.
A Wrinkle in Time is a great read because it is a creative and suspenseful story. It is a book that keeps you wanting to read more. If you like fantasy that will keep you hooked, A Wrinkle in Time is the book for you.
