My son loved it and will be reading other books from this series.
Teenager Meg Murry, her little brother Charles Wallace, and friend Calvin O'Keefe, go on an adventure to find Meg and Charles' father, a scientist who has been missing for over a year.
Every year I try to pick out a classic to read. Usually I question why a particular book is considered a classic. What makes people love it so much? I finished reading this classic children's book and have to say I had a hard time finishing it.
The story started off well, introducing the characters. I liked the first couple of chapters, but once we got into the plot of the story, I was a bit lost. They talked about a Tessoract, but didn't explain what it was right away. By the time I found out, I really didn't care.
I'm going to chalk this up to the fact that I don't like fantasy books. The story was okay for me, but I still don't know why it is considered a classic. My rating: 2.5 Stars.

What a wonderful book! Great book for all ages. I am ordering the rest of the set, and I can't see what happens to the characters next.
Delightful book with a good message.
Amazing. Confusing at first, but as you get farther into it, you just can't put it down.
I loved this book when I read it as a kid. I still liked it as an adult. I think we all fantasize about time travel, and this gives a logical though uncontrollable way of achieving it. This book was used as a book club choice for adults & young adults. Of the entire group, only one person didn't like it. We also read "When you Reach Me" by Rebecca Stead. This was not as universally liked by the group, but the two tie together. If you read and like "A Wrinkle in Time" you might try the our other choice - it's kind of creepy, and a real page turner in my mind.
I enjoyed this book when I was a kid, and I enjoyed it as an adult. Some of the concepts flew over my head when I was younger that made the book more interesting as an adult. Great book!
I love this book, and I love the series. I ordered this book because I lent out my copy and needed another to lend to my boyfriend.
