A Wrinkle in Time is a very....interesting book. Although strange, it pulls you in and keeps you there until you turn the last page. It is intriguing, unique, and thought provoking. You know that nothing in this book could happen in real life, but you can't help wondering what lies beyond our solar system...could there be other life? Maybe magic? This book can make you think about things that may have never crossed your mind or seemed at all possible.
It all starts when a strange visitor comes to Meg's family's house in the middle of a stormy night. Meg's little brother, Charles Wallace, seems to know the woman under the pile of scarves. He calls her "Mrs. Whatsit", and tells Meg that she lives with her two friends Mrs. Which and Mrs. Who in the haunted house in the woods. Meg, who thinks the whole idea is ridiculous, decides to ignore it. That is, until she finds out that these three "women" can help her find out where her dad is, who disappeared in time a couple of years earlier. Together, and with Meg's new-found friend Calvin, they embark on a journey to save Meg's dad.
This book talks about the value of family and love. One of the unique themes to it is that it also talks about how you should see things with your heart, not your eyes. It teaches some valueable lessons if you can pay close enough attention.
This book also has a movie, and I would suggest you read the book first as it has much more detail, and of course it is much more fun to visualize the story yourself.
Overall, I think this book deserves a B+

Ummm... When I read this book, which was quite a while ago, it really confused me.
i read this book for school and loved it! granted, it is odd, but it also opens up your imagination and makes you see what you cant see in real life.
