Madeleine LEngles ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, now a major motion picture.

It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.

Wild nights are my glory, the unearthly stranger told them.

I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course.

Let me sit down for a moment, and then Ill be on my way.

Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.

A tesseract (in case the reader doesnt know) is a wrinkle in time.

To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss LEngles unusual book.

A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin OKeefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school).

They are in search of Megs father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.

A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal.

It is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

A Wrinkle in Time is now a movie from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.

This title has Common Core connections.

Praise for A Wrinkle in Time: A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time.

Ive read it so often, I know it by heart.

Meg Murry was my hero growing up.

I wanted glasses and braces and my parents to stick me in an attic bedroom.

And I so wanted to save Charles Wallace from IT.
