Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is about 4 kids looking for their father.
Review: I'm in the 5th chapter for school. But, I love the book so far. I know it's about hope. And struggles to find their father in another planet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Excellent Little World
Review: A Wrinkle in Time is the only book I have read that has the capability to bring me into a completely unique world and accurately describe it. Even the illustrations on some of the paperback versions have accurate depictions of the characters described in the book! :-)

I do like the little extras that this book has to offer, such as a theory involving what goes beyond the third dimension, into the fourth dimension (that being time) and then to the fifth dimension, a wrinkle in time, or, as it's referred to in the book, a tesseract.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hateful classic; dull, dull, dull
Review: Why does everyone love this book? Why? I thought I would really connect with Meg and Charles Wallace and Calvin, beacuse they're all intelligent misfits who don't quite fit in, and I connect with that, but I didn't. The characters are dull, stultifying, snobby, mundane. They're so in love with their enormous intellects and unusual, close-knit family life that I could cry with frustration and annoyance. The writing is weird, the characaters are weird, the plot is weird, and none of it is entertaining. I love a different book with a different plot, but the triteness and egotism and coldness of this book destroyed it for me.

I must admit that the story has some truly interesting elements to it. Madeleine L'Engle does well with storylines and plots, and the story does indeed move along, (like I said, I like weird--i.e., unusual and original-- plots) but the stuffy dullness of all the characters, main and supporting, ruins the book. I couldn't relate to anyone in this book, and I found I really didn't want to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Madeline L'Engle has woven a magnificent fantasy.
Review: Madeline L'Engle has written a beautiful fantasy with glorious charactors and creatures such as Mrs.Who and Mrs.What. It has a half sci-fi half fantasy atmosphere and a wondrous plot. I highly recommend reading it. Get your hands on it today!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: TERRIBLE, LACK OF ALMOST EVERYTHING
Review: A terrbile book. I gave it two stars because the plot was great. Otherwise it was a bad bad book. The author needs to sharpen her sense of writing. The way she writes makes me bored out of my MIND. But she definetely can write a plot, that is very interesting.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What a fun book to read!
Review: I never had the opportunity to read this book as a child but chose it for a college course reading assignment. What a pleasant surprise! The fast action grabs your attention and holds it to the very end. While joining in the adventure with Meg, Charles Wallace and Calvin the reader discovers the real reason for the disapperance of their father.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A wonderful journey through time and space!!
Review: Readers will love this journey through not only time and space, but good and evil. After being visited by a misplaced messanger who tells Meg and her little brother Charles Wallace that their is such a thing as a "tesseract" or a wrinkle in time, they along with their neighbor Calvin O'Keefe set out to find Meg and Charles Wallace's father, who studied time travel. These three along with Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which take on a planet that is controlled by "IT", a brain that represents the forces of evil. This is a tantilizing tale that is sure to keep you reading on to the next chapter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Book
Review: I have read this book over and over. I first discovered it as a lonely fifth grade child and it opened up a world of difference to me. I buy it for all my neices nephews as soon as they come of age. A definite masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of best introductions to the infinity of fantasy
Review: A Wrinkle in Time is a triumph for all children to read. Meg's character fits all the insecurities that we all had as a child, and isn't ashamed to be different. Her father has disappeared and confronts anyone who thinks his motive for leaving was voluntary. With the aid of some interstellar guests, Meg and her younger brother Charles Wallace with friend Calvin, go on a universal search to bring her father home. Along the way, our brave friends face down an itty bitty force of evil that threatens all of mankind and learn the meaning of love and faith.

Rating: 1 stars
