BOOK: A wrinkle in time - Madeleine L'Engle

Everyone thinks Meg Murry is dull, and that her little brother, Charles Wallace, is dumb. They also think that their physicist father has just left their mother. One night an unearthly stranger, Mrs Whatsit, Meg, Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin O'Keefe begin a dangerous quest through time to find their father. While on this trip, they must face an evil power that is taking over the universe, one planet at a time. This is not science fiction, although it shares elements of it and of classic superhero stories. Thekids must each other and their individual strengths, finding the answers deep within themselves.
Ok, description there, now I must say, I read this entire book in six hours of non-stop reading, not even to eat or to go to the toilet. It is captivating, amazingly entertaining, absolutely easily-read and informative. You'll learn a lot about physics, trust me. I bet most of you haven't a clue what a TESSERACT is... well... now that I've read this book, I know...
Madeleine L'Engle did a great job, it's a book for all ages determined to tangle you in it's story and no let you go until you've finished reading the whole thing.
You'll become Meg or Calvin, luckily, Mrs. Whatsit is such a humongous character, I don't thing any of us will become her, it's too complicated... Plus, she's not the one you will travel with from beginning to end, it's Meg or Charles Wallace or maybe Calvin. Ms. L'Engle has written many books, even with these same characters as they grow older, and they're all as captivating as this one.
Go on, grab the book, read the first few pages and be Meg and the boys' companion in their travels through time and space.

My rating? *****
Ages? 10 and up
