1) Paperback Book A Wrinkle in Time by Square Fish. This is a classic book, bringing together fantasy, magic, another world, family, and adventure all together in one story. Not every story is able to do that.
It has some slightly darker elements, but nothing like Harry Potter.
I remember adoring this book when I was younger, it sucked me right into the pages. I loved Meg and Charles.
I recently reread this book, and I have to say, I still enjoyed it. And now that the pages are faded, the story of magic and adventure into another world, still captivates me.¤

2) Paperback Book A Wrinkle in Time by Square Fish. A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L´Engle, is a book that I´ve read twice but completely loved. It is a story that has very advanced concepts for the early 1960´s but is something that anyone could like. Meg Murry is a normal teenage girl: she has braces and looks normal. She doesn´t do that well in school but is smart at home. On the other hand, her brother, Charles Wallace, is an all around genius. His age is five and understands most things a five year old couldn´t. Meg and Charles Wallace meet a boy named Calvin, who is a friendly boy around Meg´s age, around two years older, and all three of them hit it off, Meg a little slower than Charles Wallace. On a stormy night, a bizarre lady comes in and tells them random things.
Over the course of the book, Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace are all pulled into a fantasy world with different galaxies, "wrinkling", and different planets. This is all for Mr. Murry, who went missing a few years prior to this point in time. Overall, it was a satisfying book.¤

3) Paperback Book A Wrinkle in Time by Square Fish. I still remember the first copy I ever read of this book. And then in the 6th grade I won as a prize the copy I now have. This is probably one of the greatest fantasies ever written. It existentialist, scientific, and downright practical sweet all in the same stroke of a pen. Not only that, but this is a book that will affect you with some of the strongest relationships and emotion I have ever seen in children´s literature.¤

4) Paperback Book A Wrinkle in Time by Square Fish. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L´Engle had a great beginning. The first sentence starts out with "It was a dark and stormy night........." I think that is a great way to start out the story. In my view, the characters do not develop a well as I would of hoped they would as the story went along. I kind of got lost as I read the story, but that might just be me and not the books fault. But it might have been the reason. I found this book to give a good story but not as well as I pictured it when I first saw it. Overall, it might be a good kids book, but not for me....¤

5) Paperback Book A Wrinkle in Time by Square Fish. I once heard a literary agent offer this "sound" advice: Never begin a book with information about the weather. I´m sure glad that Madeleine L´Engle didn´t hear that because "It was a dark and stormy night," is a perfect way to begin this book about the Murry family and their adventures. If it hadn´t been so stormy, then Meg might not have left the dark, loud, scary attic to join her mother and her brother Charles Wallace over sandwiches and hot chocolate. If they hadn´t been all warm and cozy in the kitchen, then the visitor might not have appeared. As soon as the strangely dressed little old lady took off her soaked boots, I knew something memorable was about to happen...and it did.

Originally written and published as a children´s book, the novel has several underlying themes: a quest for unknown places; the never ending battle of good and evil; the desire to be accepted regardless of looks, personality, peculiarities, or family; the need for love, love, and more love; the power of love to heal and encourage; the courage to risk everything when it becomes necessary; the interconnectedness of all creatures; and the desire to discover what else is out there in the universe. It´s also a book chocked full of adventures that would appeal to a child.

At our book club meeting, we all agreed that A Wrinkle in Time is the type of novel that would appeal to young and old alike. We saw similarities between Meg and Charles Wallace´s adventures and those of the children in the Narnia series, another set of books that we enjoyed.

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.
