Late one night, three otherworldly creatures appear and sweep Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe away on a mission to save Mr. Murry, who has gone missing while doing top-secret work for the government. They travel via tesseract--a wrinkle that transports one across space and time--to the planet Camazotz, where Mr. Murry is being held captive. There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murry but the safety of the whole universe.

Perfect for old fans and winning over new ones, this graphic novel adaptation is a must-read.
A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in Madeleine L’Engle’s Time Quintet.

Nonetheless, this is my recommendation. Read the original novel beginning to end, wait a few days, and then read this graphic novel. You will not be disappointed!!
A fun story with a happy ending. I'm afraid that my not reading this as a kid may contribute to the fact that I didn't just overwhelmingly love this book. It's a great book with a great story and I really enjoyed seeing the author's faith come through (very overtly) throughout the narrative.
However, with that said, Meg was simply annoying to me. I completely get that this book is meant for children/tweens and that there are multiple lessons of patience, love, and faith to be learned from this work, but Meg was just obnoxious. While she does mature over the course of the story, I found myself constantly frustrated with her whining. I can completely relate to feeling out of place and feeling like your different and don't belong (which can most definitely lead to whining), but man alive. Meg has her redeeming qualities, that we mostly see by the end of the work, but I can see where her non-conformity can make her a relatable character for children/tweens who feel the pressure to be popular or athletic - I know I did when I was her age. I do think we're seeing more and more acceptance of people who consider themselves "nerds" or "geeks" and that is a good thing.
Charles Wallace, along with the three Angels/witches, were by far the more interesting characters for me. I fully plan on reading the rest of the series, so I hope that we gain more insight into Charles Wallace's "abilities" and how he seems to be able to read minds/thoughts.
Overall, though, I do recommend the book and will be happy to read it with my children one day.
Also, I googled the word "tesseract" and I enjoy the crazy internet rabbit hole it takes you down: geometry, architecture, religion, science.
