Summary: A Wrinkle in Time Rave Review
Review: Have you ever gone through a tessercat? Ever traveled to a second dimension world, and met creatures beyond imagination? I have, and you can too! All you have to do is sit down with Madeleine L'Engle's
enthralling novel, A Wrinkle in Time, and allow the book to work its magic.
In A Wrinkle in Time, a girl named Meg Murray, a typical girl living in a small, dull town goes on unimaginable adventures with odd strangers to dork planets and even to the very source of evil itself. Apart from these wild adventures, I think that every child can relate to Meg, from her impatience to her insecurity. Meg's younger brother, Charles Wallace, is small and intelligent far beyond his years, and often the subject of hostility from people around town. No on can seem to accept a boy who is so- well, different. But what is so different about Charles Wallace? Well, for one thing, he never speaks, which gives people a reason to call him a "dumb kid". But Charles Wallace is far from dumb, and deep down everyone can tell. The real reason that he is called "weird" and "dumb" is because people are scared of him. Scared of something different. But what makes them scared? What nobody can quite on is the fact that Charles Wallace can get inside people's minds, see what they are thinking and feeling, and although people do not know, they do not like it.

In A Wrinkle In Time, the two siblings are escorted by magical beings to unknown places on a mission to rescue their missing father. Together they travel to planets consumed by It and meet the man with red eyes and people doing the exactly same thing as one another. Meg and Charles Wallace need to put aside their own troubles and learn how to change in order to save their father from It. But who or what is It? And will Meg and Charles Wallace be able to overcome their fears and their faults before it's too late? That, I'm afraid you will have to find out for yourself as you ride through A Wrinkle In Time.

This book is everything a book should be: suspenseful, thrilling, and something that's never been attempted before. It without a doubt deserves every one of the five stars and has quickly become one of my favorites.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book
Review: This book was o.k. In the beginning, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which take Meg, Charles, and calvin all around the universe. They end up on this planet called Camazotz looking for their father. They meet up with IT and something terrible happens. Read it to find out. I rated this book 4 stars because at some parts, you wanted to put it down and leave it.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A Wrinkle in Time
Review: The book A Wrinkle in Time, is a ok book. It wasnt the greatest because it was boring at some long parts. The imagination was just amazing that they could come up with this stuff!

Its about these 3 kids that are trying to find they're dad on a different planet. They have to tesserect to get there though. They have to go through all of these mean brainwashed aliens. They have to battle a ugly brain that is trying to brainwash them! I really like when she meets this thing that she calls aunt beast. Aunt beast has tentecles and fur, very good smelling and soft fur. I recommened this book to people that love to read and can sit through a loooonnggg book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What will happen next for this family?
Review: this family has been through a lot like the farther being gone, meg haveing a hard time at school and etc. but will this be the end of their tragities? with their farther back will the family earn respect again? other than their farther i think it was a good book because you didn't know what would happen next or other wise you were on the end of your seat the whole time (at least i was).(...)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful, quick and easy read!
Review: I finally read this book, and honestly wish I'd read it sooner. Light, but not fluffy reading. The story is quite basic, but still thouroughly thought provoking, and the characters will stick with you long after turning the last page. For being a fantasy story, it reads very realistically. Grea one-sitting read!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Magical Adventure
Review: A Wrinkle In Time by Madelein L'engle, is very interesting and mysterious. It kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. It starts off with Meg Murry in her attic bedroom trying to get to sleep through the harsg storm outside. It becomes more interesting when she runs downstairs to find her brother Charles Wallace, waiting in the kitchen, who had mysteriously predicted her arrival, with a sandwich already prepared for her. I love this book because it is so mysterious and when you read it you fall in love with the characters. My favorite character is Charles Wallace, because he is so young yet very intelligent. He knows and senses things that people have never experienced. L'engle creates this wonderful character that reaches out to you and makes this book more mysterious. Although he is smart, he does have downfalls. This book is so great because they journey to other worlds to find their missing father, which I think is a great mission and is very touching. I also love the book because of the beautiful worlds that they travel to, and the wonderful picture that Madelein paints in your head. This book teaches you of a tesseract and about IT. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good adventure and an interesting mystery.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is the best book I ever read.
Review: Are you looking for a book that you can't stop reading? Well I recommend Wrinkle in Time to teens and adults. You have to read it carefully. My favorite character is Charles Wallace because he is brave and talks mature and thinks that he knows everything. Charles Wallace can also read Mrs.Murrys and Megs mind (that's my favorite trait).
The fantasy in Wrinkle in Time starts at the beginning when Mrs.Whatsit visits the Murry house. Also when Calvin(megs friend),Meg, and Charles Wallace and Mrs.Who,Mrs.Wich and Mrs.Whatsit tessered to Camotzoz to save Megs and Charles long lost father.It's like wrinkling in time,maybe that's why they named it WRINKLE IN TIME. After I read this book I think that the moral is you should appreciate being different and not the same.The other one is love that IT doesn't have.That's how Meg defeated IT.If you are interested in Wrinkle in Time just go to a nearby library and check it out.By:Cendi

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW! This BOOK is awsome!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Is that the end?
Review: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel in space? Well if you have then get A Wrinkle in Time. It's full of questions, love and fantasy. There is an over-sized brain called IT for example. There are tons of questions that don't get answered in this book, but if you read the rest of the books by Madeline L'Engle I'm sure you could answer a few of the questions. Mrs. Whatsit is part of the fantasy. I mean she's part horse and part man! She used to be a star, not a movie star or a rock star - a STAR! I would definately recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy.
