Summary: It Brings Back Your Imaganation!
Review: When I was around the age of eight, I believed fairies lived all over the world. After about a year or so, fairies didn't seem that believe-able anymore. But then for my 10th birthday, My Dad's old highschool friend sent me "A Wrinkle In Time," I read this book, and found it very good. 'A Wrinkle in Time' brings back what you used to not believe in. I would recemend this book to children and adults. I think anybody who read this book who find it well written!

Summary: Commendably written; L'Engle's best!
Review: The reasons I liked this book are... Madeleine L'Engle combinesher incredible authencity and realism with scientific fantasy tocreate her best masterpiece that I have read yet. The well developed characters help you connect and understand certain parts of your own life. The book is complex, but understandable to good readers.I am ten, and I admit I read it twice-- to comprehend and view more of these hidden aspects in the book. Also, I learned a bit about dimensions, although the author uses dimensions to explain the complicated tesseract. These are reasons why I couldn't recommend this book enough!

Summary: MUST READ, THIS IS THE BEST REVIEW EVER!
Review: Hi, I'm from the United States. If you haven't read this book, you must! It's a great book! It's so great, I read the whole chapter book, and it won a Newberry Award! I love this book! If you love adventure, this is the book you will want to read. They go into a different dimension! It's really cool! And in the beginning, the book tells about these 3 poor women who live in a haunted house. Meg Murry, who thinks she's a stuck-up moron, freak, is scared when her brother, Charles Wallace,5 years old, who talk like a 30 year-old, drags Meg down to the haunted House. They find out the 3 ladies names: Mrs. Which, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Whatsit. When they go back to the haunted house, theres a boy standing in front of the house. He was in the 11th grade (a Junior), and just said to Meg that he was destined to meet her there. Meg was very confused. She din't know what was happening. As with the Junior, Calvin, they form a special relationship, even though Meg's around 10 years old, and the boy's about 17. That's gross! But anyway, Meg tells Calvin how her and her father used to travel everywhere. In fact everytime her dad was sent to somewhere, they would just move there. But one day they decided to move into their summer house. When Meg's dad was sent somewhere, he never came back. I mean, they were sending letters and postcards everyday, until Meg's dad just stopped. The bosses said that he was on a special mission, but they never heard from him. Meg and her mom, and siblings visited the place where he used to stay. He was gone. Meg knows that he's not dead, and that he was talking about the 5th dimension before he left, so with the 3 ladies, Charles, and Calvin, they travel into the 5th dimension. I'm not telling you the rest. it's all for you to find out! It's a great book and even a pretty cover to get your attention. The cover got my attention. I used to hate reading books, but since I started reading Madeline Lengle's books, I just loved reading. I want to thank Madeline Lengle. She is the best author in the world. Have a great time enjoying the book!

Summary: A book which took me very far.
Review: The book A Wrinkle in Time is a very adventrous book with a lot of meaning that you need to think about. When I was done reading A Wrinkle in Time,I thought about how good it was, and it made me want to read, A Wind in the Door( which was wonderful) and A Swiftly Tilting Planet (it was also very well written). In A Wrinkle in Time, each chapter has it's own wonderous meaning. Mrs.Who Mrs.Whatsit and Mrs.Which seemed very odd in the beginning, but they turned out to be very well trusted and gave a lot of help. Meg has to learn a lot of assorted lessons which help her throughout the journey. If you like adventure,A Wrinkle in Time is a great book for you. All of the characters learn a lesson in this book and I think Madeleine L'Engle wanted it to effect you too. In the end every caharacter has changed, and it makes huge differtences in the way that character acts thourghout the other 3 books.I hope the book is the right book for you as it was for me. Thank you for reading my review.

Summary: Tessering
Review: Like many others here i think this is an excellant book. It was one of the first books to introduce me to the literary world of fantasy and science fiction, needless to say it did not dissapoint, and encouraged me to further endeavers into those genres. I immediatly identified with the characters of Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace, being an extremely smart social misfit myself. I was caught up in their lives and adventures from the very start. L'engle masterfully weaves compelling characters, fascinating, well thought-out worlds, and surprisingly introspective philosophy, into a brilliant tapestry of a story. This is a classic, a staple of modern children's literature, as Prydain, Narnia, The Dark is Rising, and Harry Potter are. After i read this book i had a name for what happens when i am sucked into a book's world... Tessering!

Summary: Full of images,ideas and characters you will always remember
Review: In my middle childhood, I read this book over and over and over. Like most truly classic children's books, this book is not afraid of scaring children or overwhelming them with powerful ideas. The images of the planet Camazotz are so powerful I can instantly bring them to mind, even after probably 15 years since my last reading---the endlessly long room that Meg walks down, the street with all the identical mothers and children, Meg's way of resisting IT. Meg and Charles Wallace are children unlike most you can find in books---very outside the mainstream. This is the best of the 3 books in the series, but all three are definately very worth reading.

Summary: I went looking for the pictures...
Review: My mother first read me "A Wrinkle in Time" when I was a child. The story and characters are so descriptive that I went looking for the illustrated version because I wanted to look at the picture of IT on the dias. There are no illustrated versions of "A Wrinkle in Time." The picture was in my head. I recommend it to children and adults. It's worth buying hardback -it's more durable for frequent reading. I will never stop reading this classic.
