Dear reader I highly suggest that you read A Wrinkle in time by Madeleine L Engle. It is very exiting and adevturous with a little drama. So in the begging of the book Meg Murrys father is a scientist and he tried to make time machine or a teleporter that can move you to plant to plant. But one day he goes missing and Meg gets very depressed and sad over this. So as the story goes on the Meg gets made fun of. So Meg wanted to do something about this so she went on an adventure with her brotherI'm reading this at 38, not 12 like you're probably supposed to, so I wasn't blown away by this like everyone seems to be, however I do see how it was a very influential, ahead-of-its-time novel! The first one flew by and was great, the second one I found to be quite a slog, as nothing seems to much happen and it's just a lot of repeating its concepts to make sure you Really Get It, but then book 3 was fun again as the explaining was out of the way, and there was a story again.
It feels wrong to rate this as I couldn't finish it. I did get about 400 pages in when I realized I just didn't care what happened. I think this is a case of being outside of the intended age range and believe that had I read this as a kid it would still hold a fondness. As it is I barely got through A Wrinkle in Time and though I liked the themes I could care less about the kids. Precocious kids are the worst when you are an adult without children. These stories are full of know it all kids
Excellent read. Strong character's. Very good message. Can't believe I missed this one as a kid.
I was given these books at age 10 by a family friend; they are PRIZED in my collection. This is the first time I remember truly "escaping" into a book, to a fictional time and place. A Wrinkle in Time is the first book where I risked my 5th grade freedom and courageously read under the covers at night with a flashlight! I was prepared to defend Meg and Calvin and Charles Wallace to my death! Well maybe not to my death, but I was willing to sacrifice my hind end to a spanking with the dreaded
Very entertaining. Keeps you reading and on the edge of your seat. Makes your heart race with both excitement and fear. I encourage people to read while still young!
SciFi Fantasy fun! Not my usual cup of tea but really enjoyed these quick reads.
