A Wrinkle in Time is a science fiction fantasy novel by American writer Madeleine L'Engle, first published in 1962. It is about Meg And Charles Walence. Their father, who was working on a interesting project called a tesseract, goes missing! Then they meet a boy and some strange women. This story won a Newbery Medal, Sequoyah Book Award and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award For this amazing story! It also has a movie! I Hope you all enjoy!
Glad I decided to reread this. It was first read to me by my 5th/6th grade teacher. I enjoyed it then but didn't remember much about it. I can see why it's proven to be a classic. Not sure yet if I like it enough to read others in the series.
This didn't hold up for me, compared to my childhood experience reading it. Now, I'd probably rate it slightly below 3. The version to which I listened was narrated by the author (not a positive, in this case).

A Classic
Recently re-read this before the movie comes out. It stands the test of time, still worth our fullest focus and imagination.
It's a dangerous thing to revisit the stories you loved as a child, and I worried about this book. I hadn't read it since I was a teen, and my memories of it were fond but vague. What if it wasn't as good as I remembered?
It wasn't, but it also was.
I listened to the audiobook, read by the author herself, and while it's a treat to hear Madeleine L'Engle, her speaking voice was more of a struggle than I'd imagined. Her depictions of American children feels much more dated even than when I first read them in the '90s. That said, the story's still fun, and the nostalgia's still strong, and I enjoyed it.
