"A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read it so often, I know it by heart." —Meg Cabot

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. Murray, 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. Murray is being held captive. There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murray but the safety of the whole universe.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in Madeleine L’Engle’s Time Quintet.

First. I don't like Mrs. Which speech, or attitude. 

Second. I liked this story. It's simple and sweet. I like Calvin and Meg together. I like the mystery of Charles Wallace. I like that Meg acts like a child. She represents true fears and frustrations and confusion a child would have. She's not made out to be perfect. I like that she's whiney and full of emotion.  

Third. The three M's kinda frustrate me. ugh. HELP THEM 

Four. I like Aunt Beast.

More interesting and involved than the two prior books but I’m starting to suspect nothing will ever be resolved.
