My rating
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles
Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight
snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild
nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got
caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a
moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there
is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader
doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader
of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time,
winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in
space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete,
student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in
search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in
secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
