Rating: Summary: science fantasy fiction Review: I thought to give this book 5 stars because it had won a Newberry Medal, and it was a very fun and interesting book to read. This book is about a boy named Charles Wallace, his sister, Meg, and Calvin, a friend. Meg and Charles Wallace lost their father when he tried to get somewhere else for a science experiment. He was taken to an evil and different city into a different world. Charles's friend, Mrs. Whatsit, tells the kids this information, along with Mrs. Which and Mrs. Who. They will all get to experience a flower that will give the humans oxygen, see the 3 Mrs. W's in their real form, and Meg will get to be comforted by big, hairy giants. These adventures will take place on different worlds on their way to find Mr. Murray on a different, evil planet. They wiil see Charles transform into evil and block Meg's way to get to her father. Will Meg get through Charles Wallace to find their father? Can they escape the evils and pressures ahead of them? Wait until you read the book.
Rating: Summary: A Classic Review: I recently saw the movie version of this, which prompted me to dig out the tattered and much-loved paperback of 'A Wrinkle in Time' which I have kept since grade school.This is the story of Meg Murry, a misfit at school, her brilliant little brother, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe, the unlikely star of the basketball team. These three meet an odd assortment of bedsheet-stealing old ladies, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which. The ladies are not what they appear, and whisk the children away on a quest to find Meg and Charles' missing father on the far-away planet of Camazotz, where everyone is perfectly alike, to their detriment. L'Engle's deceptively simple prose evokes the warmth of love and the chill of fear with equal facility. If you have not read this, you are never too old.

Rating: Summary: Great science fiction! Review: I liked this book. The book is about Meg, her friend Calvin, and her brother Charles Wallace. They and their friends, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which, warp through the universe, which they call tessering. They go to a planet called Camazotz to save Meg and Charles Wallace's father from IT, which is a giant brain that rules the planet. I liked this book because it is about the universe and I like space stuff. I recommend this book to people who like space and science fiction.

Rating: Summary: Profound Review: A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle, is one of my all time favorite books. The plotline is captivating, and L'Engle doesn't make the mistake of idolizing her characters. It is because her characters are so human, so prone to make mistakes, that you fall in love with them. You identify with them, because they have problems which are a lot like the problems which we must each face, although on a much larger scale. Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin have to save Mr. Murry, Meg and Charles Wallace's father. Mr. Murry works with the government, and has been involved in a top secret mission. He and the other scientists have been experimenting, and as a result of these experiments, Mr. Murry gets lost in intergalactic space. Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which help Meg, Charles, and Calvin on their mission. L'Engle has woven many underlying messages into the fabric of the story. One of the main themes is that good will always triumph over evil. All through the book, they are fighting evil of various forms, but in the end, good, and love, win all. Meg struggles to accept this idea, that good can conquer all, and believe that she personally is capable of conquering the evils which she is forced to face. She has three people who have triumphed greatly over evil to help and guide her. When she faces the ultimate evil, she must try to follow their example. Meg must also contend with her own self. All her emotions an thoughts make it hard for her to be patient, and to accept challenges and uncertainty with a willing heart. The character development in this book is amazing. You see Meg grow from someone who is miserable in school, and hates sticking out like a sore thumb, to someone who knows what is important, and knows how terrible it really is to be just like everyone else. Another thing which L'Engle touches on is how, when you truly love someone (not necessarily the romantic type of love, more the peace on earth, good will towards men kind), words often aren't necessary. You can communicate in another, more special way, which she calls kything. This idea is discussed in more depth in the following books, however, they are introduced to kything in this one. The messages of this story might not be as clear when you are reading the book, but if you sit back and think about it one day, you will see how profound they really are all through the story. It's almost as if a ton of bricks has hit you in the face, bringing with it a feeling for what truly matters in life.
Rating: Summary: provoke your thoughts Review: Let's start this off by saying that after I read this book I went out and bought the next three in the series. I simply could not put the book down and I found the same with the next three. The story starts off with Meg and her younger brother Charles Wallace. Their father is on a secret government mission and has been gone for a long time. They go on a journey to find him with their freind Calvin and three peculiar women they meet along the way. They tesseract (wrinkle) through space. They find their father, but they have a lot to accomplish before they can save him. I won't give away the ending, but I highly suggest this book. It is for everyone, all ages, religions, races, gender etc. It's a fast read and it's very thought provoking.
Rating: Summary: my report Review: A Wrinkle In Time is an outstading book for someone who wants to read an action packed book wihtout all the boring details. when it comes to my books i like to get right into the action, and not beet around the bush. Wrinkle In Time jumps right into the action and kept me hoooked. the4 reader will never guess what will happen on the next page; it's filled with a new twist around every corner. this book keeps it short simple and to the action, it is deffenetly worth the time to pick up, and once someone picks it up they won't be able to put it down.
Rating: Summary: A Wrinkle in Time Review: This science-fiction book by Madeleine L'Engle tells about a unique family, the Murry's, who love and support one another. The setting of the story centers on the Murry household in a small, present-day community. They accept each others differences in a positive way. Their loving environment encourages each child to reach their potential. The strength and courage of the children, Meg and Charles, helps them in their battle of good versus evil. The father had been working on a top secret government project and disappears. Three strange ladies, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, come to help Meg, Charles, and their friend Calvin, to find Mr. Murry. They must "tesser" through time to several planets to locate and save him. They must use their individual talents to fight the evil that is taking over the universe. They come to find that their father's disappearance is related to this evil "IT" that has the power to control worlds. He is a captive of this "Dark Thing" that is gradually engulfing planets in the universe. With the help from the three W's and the Beasts from Ixchel the family is reunited and returns to Earth. The universe holds many mysteries, and the battle against evil still continues. The story suggests that each individual is unique and their contributions can make a difference in the struggle for good and that love can conquer all. I recommend this book to teens because it's about accepting one's strengths and weaknesses. It shows that it is important to be actively involved in "good" and not just talk about it.
