A Wrinkle in Time

I do not enjoy reading most Science Fiction books or Fantasy Books, but all of my children do. With that said, when I was younger, I LOVED the book A Wrinkle in Time, and could not wait to watch the movie – it did not disappoint! This story is a classic. I’m pretty sure it was assigned as a book report when I was in elementary school, otherwise, I probably would not have read it, and would’ve missed out on an amazing tale. I do try to read books outside my preferred genre’s, mainly because this specific story taught me at an early age that I shouldn’t exclude books based on genre alone. Sometimes it’s rewarding to explore stories in other genres, and as an adult, I’m grateful that we were assigned the dreaded book reports that pushed us to read books outside of our comfort zone {I’ve always LOVED to read, but primarily books of my own choosing:) } When I find authors that I enjoy though, I tend to read every book published by that author, and I enjoyed all 5 books in the A Wrinkle in Time Quintet.

Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture.

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 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 Newbery 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.

A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

A Wrinkle in Time is soon to be a movie from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.
