A Wrinkle in Time


This is, by far, the best book that I have ever read. And the best part? There are four my right after it in the series! Any way, this is the story of Meg, who has mousy hair, glasses, and a very short temper. She is always getting in trouble, especially when people make fun of her baby brother and the fact that her dad has been gone from the family for almost a year. And then one day, a terrible storm ravages the house and a strange woman shows up, talking of tesseracts, other dimensions, and that she knows where their father is. Of course, Meg doesn't believe her, but at her baby brother's request (he's actually a six-year-old genius), Meg and Charles Wallace go off to find the strange woman. They find themselves on a whirl-wind adventure across time and space, discovering the best things about themselves and that they must have courage if they want to save their father.

I love this book, and I read it and its partners at least once a year. Every one, and I do mean EVERY ONE should read this book at least once in their life time. Click here to buy a copy right now! A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

A Wrinkle in Time is one of my all-time favorite books! I love it and can't wait to share it with my daughter when she's a little older. A lot older, actually, it's some pretty intense reading for a young mind.
