Summary: So GREAT, I read over and over!
Review: This book was fantastic! It was well-written, with interesting, believable characters and a mind-boggling plot. Meg, or Margaret Murry, is my favourite character. She has very reallistic problems and emotions, and takes me into the book. Her concernns about her brother, Calvin and her father make the book realistic. Her adventures on Uriel and Camazotz are so unbelievable that I can picture myself there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is a wonderful story, of fanatasy and adventure.
Review: A Wrinkle In Time is a imaginative story, appealing to all ages. It is full of mystery, adventure, fantasy, and fun. As characters Meg and Charles Murry, with friend Calvin, and Mrs. Which, Who, and Whatsit, travel through space to save Meg and Charles' father. Who is trapped on an evil planet, controlled by IT. The story is written wonderfully and ends with a sweet message and a bit of mystery. I loved reading A Wrinkle In Time and I hope will too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a good science fiction novel but a little confusing
Review: This book is one that is in the school systems constantly. And, it is a good one at that. However, there are some concepts in it that are hard to understand as an ADULT, let alone a sixth grader. Other than that, it is simply fabulous. I recommended read for all who love sci/fi

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was TERRIBLE!!!
Review: I had to read this book over the summer when i was going into 6th grade. It completly ruined my summer! It was an awful book, which i hated. It had a plot, but one that was horrible. A sci-fi book is a waste of time!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the plot
Review: When a stranger walks in the door of the Murry's house, things change. Meg has to learn skill at alot of things which she has never mastered. This book deserves a big clap. She has also written A Wind in the Door and A Swifly Tilting Planet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Spellbinding!
Review: I read the book when I was about 10; have searched for it for several years (had forgotton the title) to read it to grandson (5 years). This review is for the audio cassette; he was spellbound from the very introduction. We kept it in the car and listened to it as a family whenever we drove anywhere. None of us ever made a peep while listening to it. The struggle between good and evil was presented in a fashion a five year old could understand and yet not fear. (Would have given it 5-stars, but the reader could have been better.) Have purchased the others as books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An outstanding piece of literature
Review: I am in college now and I remember reading this book in the fourth grade. I can tell you all of the characters and exactly what happened still. It took me to places I had never before imagined. I highly recommend this book, it opened up the world of science fiction for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's a great book!
Review: This was a really great book and I thought I wasn't going to like it, huh! IT"S A REALLY GREAT BOOK! I think you should read this book. It's really good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can you believe that this isn't a movie yet?
Review: In the world of bad sci-fi films (such as "Star Wars" The Phantom Menace", a poor excuse for a child's movie - or even an adult fan's movie, at that), it's simply astounding that no one has made this amazing book into the wonderful movie that it wants to be. Teenage romance, deep family and social dynamics, interesting characters, space travel, alien witches who can morph into beautiful creatures with crystal wings, the basic - and vital - interaction between good and evil, and even a brain on a pedestal as the "Bad Guy" - this book has EVERY element of a major box-office success. Combine these facts with the supreme brand recognition and fond memories of my generation (I'm 36, read this in grade school, and continually reread it into adulthood), and the fact that L'Engle even wrote sequels, and you have to wonder what the Hollywood set is thinking in ignoring this classic literary work.

If you have children, get this book for them. No, there are no supporting toy lines to buy, no merchandising nightmares to contend with, no Taco Bell "Camazotz" cups - just a great, compelling story. If you are grown up, get this book and remind yourself that good science fiction requires nothing more than a good idea and an expressive writer - and nothing less, either.

Mr. Lucas and Mr. Spielberg, if you REALLY want to make a good _children's_ movie (clearly, neither "Star Wars" or "Hook" accomplish this with any degree of success), then wake up and read "A Wrinkle in Time". Your next box office smash is waiting for you, no dinosaurs, gratuitous effects or lasers required!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book kept me up all night reading!
Review: I felt that I was there flying into different galixes with the whitchs. This book was about the travals that these two kids and the fears that they face going to other land and galixes and different worlds where oxigan is no langer and so the two children have to hold a flower up to there nose. Ifelt that I couldn't breath with then. This book is about everything we do not know about such as black holes in space.
