Summary: Sci-Fi, Adventure, Magic and much more
Review: This is a children's book, but it isn't just an adventure story. It has science-fiction; The Drs. Murray, parents of Meg, Charles Wallace and the twins) are scientists who are researching Time and Space. Dr. Murray takes a time trip and so do the kids. There is also magic; a trio of "witches" shows up--Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, and they take Meg, her brother Charles-Wallace, and their new friend Calvin on an epic adventure. It's also the story of a family with a deep trouble who nonetheless stay together, the story of a young girl who is just coming into adolescence with all the awkwardness and confusing feelings, and the story of a special little boy who is thought to be retarded by townspeople. The symbology L'Engel uses is powerful and original; a giant brain who seduces those around it into surrendering their free will as an ultimate dictator; a shadow-like smog around planets that represents the presence of Evil, and a special young boy who is more than a genius; who is "something new" who nonetheless can be tempted to his own destruction by vanity. Wrinkle in Time has a lot of fertile subjects for discussions between parents and children about good, evil, how we treat each other, and the choices we make. Ms. L'Engel often uses moral themes in her books and this one contains excellent subjects for discussions about kindness, good, evil, God, and being different, and about the destructiveness of gossip. Wrinke in Time is like the Potter books in that it is about boys and girls in a magical or fantasy setting. It is unlike the Potter books because it does not focus on wizardry as a craft. Instead it presents the universe as full of wonder, and united by a titanic struggle of Good against Evil. Like the Potter books, there are sequels to Wrinkle in Time, and the story of the Murray kids continues. This was hands-down my favorite book as a child. I still have my copy almost 40 years later.

Summary: A great book about time and science.
Review: I really liked the book because of the concepts stated in the books, especially the concept about the different dimensions and the tessract. I thought they were very intresting. I also liked howthe story had a well-set plot. I could not easily tell what would happen next, but I was not left hanging.The bookm had a brilliant ending, in which the tension was the highest and worry was the highest, but as usual, the good-guy, or in this case, good-girl, wins.

Review: When my I first started reading this book I really thought it would be bad, but I was so wrong. I have to say the beginning is rather slow but once it gets into the action it is impossible to stop reading.The creativity in this book is totally amazing. It absolutely surpasses my imagination. Even if you don't like reading I would reccomend this book.

Summary: One of the best
Review: How anyone could give this book less than 5 stars is beyond my comprehension. I first read this book when I was about 12 years old and I was enthralled! I've re-read it about a dozen times since then, every few years I pick up a copy. A classic book that never loses it's magic, this is a must-read for everyone!

Summary: Fairy Tale
Review: A fairy tale for the adult. As educating as Momo or The little prince, Madeleine L'Engle teaches us to think a little further than we usually do. This enchanting story of 3 kids traveling through space and time to find their lost father is written so real, one could expect it to happen any day, as long as you keep your eyes and mind open. I read it in one evening and could not put it down.

Summary: A book you will keep and read over and over forever !
Review: I was first given this dusty ... hardcovered book my Nanna in 1980. It had belonged to my uncle ,she said,who read it for school in around 1970. I took it home and put it on my bookshelf and didn't give it another thought until I had to read it for school in 1982. I picked it up one afternoon and never put it down again until I had finished reading the whole book(in the wee small hours of the next morning) It was fantastic! Madelaine was an amazing author. The way she wrote, you felt like you were there with the characters, experiencing what they were. Even now 21 years later, I still read my dusty ... hardcover book over and over again, at least once a year. I've even passed it onto my 10 year old son to read and he thinks it's awesome! Almost as good as 'Harry Potter'! Ha! Ha! If you get the chance read Madeline L'Engle's wonderful story of friendship and courage. A Wrinkle in Time is a timeless book for all ages!

Summary: A well explained book!!!
Review: I personally don't like space and time continuum books I think they're confusing. Everyone kept saying it was a good book so I got fed up with it and read it. And belive it or not I actually understood it!!!!! Read and see Charles Wallace and his sister go on a quest for their father. Along the way the meet the mysterious Mrs.Which Mrs.Who & Mrs.What and the dreadful absolutely, TERRIBLE IT.

Summary: An enduring adventure
Review: I read this at age 11, and I still have my copy almost 40 years later. This book is many things; a children's adventure story, the story of a family, the story of a young girl who is just coming into adolescence with all the awkwardness and confusing feelings, and an epic science fiction adventure. It's also the story of good versus evil. I am still amazed at the symbology L'Engel uses; a giant brain who seduces those around it into surrendering their free will as an ultimate dictator; a shadow like smog around planets denoting pure evil, and a special young boy who is more than a genius; who is "something new" who nonetheless can be tempted to imminent destruction by his own vanity. Wrinkle in Time has a lot of fertile subjects for discussions between parents and children about good, evil, how we treat each other, and the choices we make. I found it simply amazing as a child, and I still find it amazing as an adult.
