Summary: Where in the world are you?
Review: Written by an American with a French name who actually did live in the French Alps for two years as a young teen, this is a fantasy of her life as a pampered child raised by older parents. It seems as if she got caught in a time warp of her own and her creative abilities came through as a teenager.It took years for this incredible story to get published as no one knew what to do with it, as she had insisted that it be listed as children's literature. Now, fifty years after winning the prestigious Newberry Medal award in 1963, it has been turned into a fantastic film using spectacular Shuttle cinematography showing scenes of the galaxy in all its glory. The solar system is depicted as one in which you feel as insignificant as a grain of sand. She used philosophical expressions and had one of the stranger character from the other world quoting Shakespeare. Meg's raven is pecking on the window at school and at home as she starts her quest to find her missing father who had dabbled in the field of time travel. A last step in any journey may be the first step to a new adventure. This time warp as they enter the gateway to an outer world in the universe was somewhat like Peter Pan and his wonders of the Never Never land where the flower 'storm' was lovely. Meg, her precocious six-yr-old brother (who can't talk), and a teenage boy named Calvin set out on a series of unbelievable happenings as they seek to combat the evil IT. The Ms. Whatsit, Who, and Which lead them through the experience. They are told that one day you will find a happy medium. Later, happy mediums work best from within. Then, we see the happy medium as a fortune teller. At first, it is thought that these are only figments of the child's imagination, but Calvin had been compelled as if he had been called to go with them. The boy who would not talk to anyone outside his family had been taunted at school by nasty kids. Calvin is the only other person he would accept into his world. Meg had felt that their dad had deserted them voluntarily, but they are led to belive that their father is somewhere behind the darkness. They are told to hold on to whoever you are, hold on to one another -- to live. They board the ultimate starship after an encounter with Pegases. Some of the most brilliant battles have been won by unusual warriors. This is a most unusual type of literature incorporating mysticism with the fantasy/science fiction genre.

Summary: A Wrinkle in Time
Review: The physics of this book is truly embarrasing (totally wrong) and the plot is the most idiotic i have ever heard of. i was truly disappointed with the story. The only thing good about this book is the title, which I suppose comes from a poem.

Summary: The Importance of Love
Review: Madeline L'Engle has done a wonderful job of creating this fun and imaginative book about the mystery of the "Dark Thing." Meg and Charles Wallace Murry's scientist father has been missing for a few years now. No one knows where he is until three strangers "tesser" Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin to distant planets in order to find him. They finally arrive on Camazotz, the planet on which Mr. Murry is imprisoned. Even with some aliens' help, can the four battle the Dark Thing in order to get back to Earth before it is too late? This is a brilliant Newbery Medal book. It is a great story about the power of love, strong family relationships, and the importance of working together and supporting each other. The style of writing is so unique and the characters are very well developed. One of the characters only speaks quotes every time she talks. Another one speaks in this manner: "wweee arre hherre!" There are so many vivid descriptive words and you just get lost in the book. As outrageous as the book sounds, Madeline L'Engle does a beautiful job of creating every scene, character, animal, and scenario so vividly that you can see it right in front of you. The book is so believable despite its extraordinary story line. This is such a wonderful book for children and it is a great way to introduce space, aliens, and even get their imaginations rolling and thinking about the impossible.

Summary: Not all it's cracked up to be
Review: For the young teen readers for whom this book was originally written, I suggest, in addition to or in lieu of this book: Flatland (Edwin Abbey): A two-dimensional world whose inhabitants are geometric shapes? It may sound like the geometry lesson from hell, but this delightful novel, now more than 100 years old, is a good introduction to the concept of spatial dimensions. So You Want To Be A Wizard? (Diane Duane): Harry Potter's got nothing on these planet-hopping teenage wizards, who do daily battle with forces of pure evil while attempting to manage their unruly siblings and maintain passing grade. The House with a Clock in its Walls (John Bellairs): Awesomely creepy adventure.

Summary: A Wrinkle in Time Rave Review
Review: Have you ever gone through a tessercat? Ever traveled to a second dimension world, and met creatures beyond imagination? I have, and you can too! All you have to do is sit down with Madeleine L'Engle's
enthralling novel, A Wrinkle in Time, and allow the book to work its magic.
In A Wrinkle in Time, a girl named Meg Murray, a typical girl living in a small, dull town goes on unimaginable adventures with odd strangers to dork planets and even to the very source of evil itself. Apart from these wild adventures, I think that every child can relate to Meg, from her impatience to her insecurity. Meg's younger brother, Charles Wallace, is small and intelligent far beyond his years, and often the subject of hostility from people around town. No on can seem to accept a boy who is so- well, different. But what is so different about Charles Wallace? Well, for one thing, he never speaks, which gives people a reason to call him a "dumb kid". But Charles Wallace is far from dumb, and deep down everyone can tell. The real reason that he is called "weird" and "dumb" is because people are scared of him. Scared of something different. But what makes them scared? What nobody can quite on is the fact that Charles Wallace can get inside people's minds, see what they are thinking and feeling, and although people do not know, they do not like it. In A Wrinkle In Time, the two siblings are escorted by magical beings to unknown places on a mission to rescue their missing father. Together they travel to planets consumed by It and meet the man with red eyes and people doing the exactly same thing as one another. Meg and Charles Wallace need to put aside their own troubles and learn how to change in order to save their father from It. But who or what is It? And will Meg and Charles Wallace be able to overcome their fears and their faults before it's too late? That, I'm afraid you will have to find out for yourself as you ride through A Wrinkle In Time. This book is everything a book should be: suspenseful, thrilling, and something that's never been attempted before. It without a doubt deserves every one of the five stars and has quickly become one of my favorites.

Summary: A good book
Review: This book was o.k. In the beginning, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which take Meg, Charles, and calvin all around the universe. They end up on this planet called Camazotz looking for their father. They meet up with IT and something terrible happens. Read it to find out. I rated this book 4 stars because at some parts, you wanted to put it down and leave it.

Review: The book A Wrinkle in Time, is a ok book. It wasnt the greatest because it was boring at some long parts. The imagination was just amazing that they could come up with this stuff! Its about these 3 kids that are trying to find they're dad on a different planet. They have to tesserect to get there though. They have to go through all of these mean brainwashed aliens. They have to battle a ugly brain that is trying to brainwash them! I really like when she meets this thing that she calls aunt beast. Aunt beast has tentecles and fur, very good smelling and soft fur. I recommened this book to people that love to read and can sit through a loooonnggg book.
