by Madeleine L'Engle
I first found this book in the library of my very small grade school - I was probably about 9 years old. I checked out this worn paperback everytime I went there and read it over and over again. At the time, it seemed to be one of the only books that really spoke to me and what I knew about how "the universe" really worked. When the school closed when I was in 7th grade, they gave away all the books in the library, and I ran there to make sure I got this one. After all, if *I* loved it so much, everyone else must too, right? <grin> Anyway, I got it and have reread this book every year since. Now it barely takes me an hour or two, but it always GETS me. This original paperback version has been taped together and retaped together and pages have fallen out and stuck back in - I'll never throw it out though. John bought me the hardcover version last year for my birthday and I was SO happy. Now I can have my book and read it too! <grin>
This is a great book for kids AND adults - anyone who knows there's more to life than meets the eye - a REAL story. By the way, it was originally written in 1962, which makes it older than John OR me, but it's truly timeless.
From
the Book Cover: It was a dark
and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her
mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were
upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught up in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A
tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time.
To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual
book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newberry Medal in 1963, is
the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace,
and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys
in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist
who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the
tesseract problem.
