Summary: Just as good 20 years later
Review: I reread this book last weekend. I had forgotten how well written and engaging the story was. This is a great read for kids with an interest in fanatasy/SciFi. One thing that struck me as interesting were the frequent religious references scattered throughout the book. The odd thing is that I can't recall noticing the Christian messages when I read this book as a child -- so while it might be a turn off for some, it's fairly subtle enough to go unnoticed by those who might take offense (reminds me of the CS Lewis Narnia books -- lots of Christian symbolism but also darn good read!)In any case, this is a great book and I think that it's got something for all types of readers.

Summary: What at great adventure!
Review: I've read this book at least 6 times and it's great each time. This is a magical adventure to another world with Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace as they try to save Meg's father. Read this book and learn what the "Fifth Dimension" is along with the mysterious neighbor witches....If you like this book & the Harry Potter adventures, you'll really enjoy the book "Call to Destiny" by Randall J Skrimager

Summary: Go Back In Time and Return This!
Review: Who reads this kinda stuff? Ignore and you will be happy. Diffently NOT worthy of winning any award. Meg is so depressing, not to even mention a total bore. That Charles dude is too unbelievable, and is the worst character ever portrayed. Avoid this book at all cost. It also has the uglist cover I have ever seen. I know they say not to judge a book by it's cover, but on this one you might just have to! But the cover isn't important, although it does help. But what's inside this one isn't any better than the front. Last word: AVOID!

Summary: A Wrinkle in Time
Review: I think the book is like a puzzle. The farther you get in the book the more you understand it. For instance the disappearing of Megs father. Teseracting is mysterious at the beginning it gets pieced together about midway into the book. You also find out about the relationship between Calvin and Meg. You understand why people acted possessed on the strange planet. You will also understand the process of kything. You understand who is Mrs. Who, Mrs. Why, and Mrs. When are. This is a confusing book but I would recommend this book to all.

Summary: Unexplained.
Review: We didn't like this book because it was boring and didn't make any sense. The people kept wrinkling and they didn't explain how they wrinkled. Also Mrs.Who kept using phrases that no one understood. Mrs.Which kept streching her words so you couldn't understand what she said.

Summary: Wow...I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: I am 30 years old, soon to be 31 next month. I have never been much of a reader until I got a hold of the Harry Potter series. Well, I read all of those, and was looking for something to read and was told that a Wrinkle In Time is a wonderful story. Well, a wonderful story is an understatement. I LOVED IT, I would have to say I think I loved it more than Harry Potter, and believe me when I say I really love Harry Potter. Well, I think that every family should have a copy of this book in their home. It helps us realize that there is something greater than ourselves, and that even though we may have our faults that being ourselves is still important and why we were put her by our creator to be who we are, not who eveyone else wants us to be.

Summary: One of the Best Books I Ever Read . . .
Review: I am 7 years old. I am half-way through A Wrinkle in Time, and I think it is the most exciting book I ever read. That is besides the Narnia series and the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. -- [...]

Summary: 1963 Newbery Medal-winner, and so deserving!
Review: CHARACTERS: Margaret "Meg" Murray, 12-year-old social misfit and math-whiz; her baby brother Charles Wallace, a 5-year-old genius who can read his Mom's and sister's minds, and whom neighbors and kids at school think is mentally retarded; Calvin O'Keefe, age 14, a popular 11th-grader from Meg's school; Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, three beings from another dimension who help the children travel through time/space in order to try and rescue Mr. Murray, their scientist father. SUMMARY: Physicist Mr. Murray has been working on top-secret government projects, so secret he hasn't even told his family the nature of his research. His letters stopped after he'd been away on a special mission and Meg's family is never given an explanation for his disappearance. Mrs. Murray, a biologist and bacteriologist, believes he'll return and encourages her children to believe it, too. Meg hears about a mysterious newcomer and learns her baby brother has already met the eccentric Mrs. Whatsit. The stranger, Mrs. Whatsit, and her two associates are time- and space-travelers who, using a mode of travel called "tessering"--a concept Mr. Murray had researched before his disappearance--take Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace away from Earth in search of Mr. Murray. From a planet in another system they can see through the thin atmosphere that a dark cloud or shadow, an evil Black Thing, surrounds another planet; they learn Mr. Murray has been fighting the Black Thing for years. They are shown the Thing surrounding a planet other than Earth, then they see that IT casts a pall over Earth as well. The children are frightened, but determined to rescue Mr. Murray and to fight IT themselves in order to rid their world if IT's evil influence. Mrs. Whatsit sends Meg, Charles Wallace and Calvin to Camazotz, where Mr. Murray is being held by humanoids who are loyal to IT. He's been holding out mentally, but is beginning to weaken just as the children arrive. With the wisdom imparted to them by Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, will they be able to break through the barrier imprisoning Mr. Murray? In the process of finding Meg's father, baby brother Charles falls victim to IT's mind control. The others tesser away from Camazotz to a safe planet, but are forced to leave Charles Wallace behind. Meg, by far the most fearful of IT of the would-be rescuers, must be the one to return to Camazotz in order to save Charles Wallace from IT, as she's the only one who can reach Charles Wallace's mind and wrench control of it away from the evil power of IT. When Meg returns to the planet, which has been under IT's control for some time, she must try to gain entry to her little brother's mind, but how can she outwit the huge intellect of IT? Mrs. Which told her that she has something that IT did not have, and this will be her only weapon--if only she can realize what can reach through IT to her brother. Will the family be finally reunited? Will everyone escape the evil power of IT unscathed, or will there be lasting repercussions? Read this nearly-forty-year-old book to find out. IMPRESSIONS: One of my favorite books from childhood, "A Wrinkle in Time" is a novel that I have reread many, many times, even throughout my adult life. Believable, touching, and teaching all at once, it is a timeless classic of American modern literature. Meg teaches us all that we can turn our weaknesses into strengths, and that good really can triumph over evil. Also consider the fact that a WOMAN (Madeleine L'Engle) wrote this novel in 1962. She really was ahead of her time! I recommend this book for kids in middle school and high school--and to their parents, because sharing and discussing a book together is incredibly rewarding and enlightening. To really learn how a kid's mind works, tap in through the mutual enjoyment of a well-written book. There are no sassy-mouthed pre-teens or adult situations in this book, so "A Wrinkle in Time" is an excellent choice!
