A Wrinkle in Time (BOOK REVIEW)

 

I don't understand it any more than you do, but one thing I've learned is that you don't have to understand things for them to be...

Meg Murry is as plain as plain can be. She has always been awkward and different. She is good at math but she fails at everything else in school. She is supposed to be smarter. Both of her parents are scientists. But when her father went missing, Meg's life changed for the worse. She missed her father and had no chance of ever seeing him again. Or so she thought...

On one dark stormy night the most obscure things happen. A strange lady named Mrs. Whatsit makes her way into the Murry family's circumstances. And it turns out Meg may have a small hope of seeing her father again.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in the quintet of a story that involves the fight between good and evil, and figuring out how to handle reality. Madeline L'engle takes the reader through a struggle of evil, finding purpose and what it means to be the light in the darkness. 

I really enjoyed this book and loved how L'engle tied in a moral lesson into the story. It was really cool to see how these characters persevered through the darkness with God and then reading books that don't have God in them. I really like futuristic books and liked how this book took you through the struggles of life in a world with different dimensions and evil in the physical.

I recommend this book for ages 11-12+ and give it a 8.5 out of 10.
