Verdict: A classic, that you should have read, like yesterday
Madeline L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time is a classic of children’s literature, staring one of the first heroines of sci-fi. Young Meg Murry is struggling. Her scientist father left to work on a top-secret government project, and the Murry family hasn’t heard from him in months. Meg is an outcast at school, where teachers accuse her of using her father’s disappearance to justify bad grades. Classmates mock her. Even at home, Meg feels like she doesn’t fit in with her brilliant family, despite her scientist mother’s assurances that Meg is a late bloomer. One dark and stormy night, a strange visitor drops by the Murry house. This visitor, Ms. Whatsit, leads Meg on an epic journey to rescue her father from a hostile force on an alien planet.
