I read this book in my class, and it was truly an engaging experience.

We also did multiple projects related to this book, which allowed me to explore its contents in greater depth.

The book is filled with tons of valuable information, mystery, and excitement. It keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story.

However, I must admit that I didn't like the movie adaptation as much as the book.

There are some significant differences in the details between the two.

The movie may have missed out on some of the nuances and subtleties that made the book so great.

Overall, the book is a must-read, while the movie can be enjoyed as a separate entity.

But if you want to truly understand the essence of the story, you should definitely pick up the book.

I have a great passion for presenting my great-nephews with books on their birthdays and at Christmas. This allows me to place orders well in advance and have the opportunity to read them myself.

I have long cherished the desire to read "A WRINKLE IN TIME", and I was delighted to discover the entire trilogy available in a single volume. After reading the very first sentence, "It was a dark and stormy night," I couldn't help but laugh for several minutes.

Madeline L'Engle was likely the originator of this line, but it has now become such a well-known cliché that I almost anticipated the next line from Snoopy, "And suddenly a shot rang out." Fortunately, that didn't occur.

Throughout the book, the author's fascination with science is abundantly clear. Her remarkable talent lies in seamlessly melding scientific hypotheses and theories with mythology, presenting them to the Murray family and the reader to grapple with.

The main characters, the teenager Meg and her precocious little brother Charles Wallace, quickly become dear friends to the readers. Mrs. Murray, a stay-at-home scientist, even cooks stew on one of her Bunsen burners. Of course, what good scientist mom wouldn't?

Mr. Murray, on the other hand, is a bit less believable as he is regularly called away from home by the president to consult on serious scientific matters. However, he does play a starring role in Book 2.

I adored the treatment of the Three Witches, or Weird Sisters, from ancient legends, and L'Engle's unicorns are truly wonderful. Each chapter introduces a new challenge that the children must face.

I initially thought Book 3 was a bit lengthy, but as the situations developed, it grew on me, despite being relatively predictable. This flight of fantasy most definitely deserved the Newberry Award.

Nearly 50 years later, it remains a great read. I'm certain my great-nephews will love it!

Another book that I read for my Adolescent Lit class was "A Wrinkle in Time."

I vividly remember reading this book during my elementary school days, and thus, I was extremely excited to revisit it.

This is indeed a well-written novel that remains enjoyable even after multiple readings. It is entertaining, filled with a sense of mystery and suspense.

Moreover, I believe the underlying message of love and family is not only valuable but also thought-provoking.

For extra credit, I decided to watch the new "A Wrinkle in Time" movie starring Oprah. However, I was rather disappointed with it.

The storyline was not adhered to very well, and they took excessive liberties with the characters.

Since fantasy is not my favorite genre at all, I'm not entirely sure if I would take the time to re-read this one.

Nevertheless, I would highly encourage younger readers to give this book a try as it has the potential to spark their imagination and introduce them to important themes.

I was given these books at age 10 by a family friend, and they hold a special place in my collection. They are truly prized possessions.

This is the first time I can vividly remember truly "escaping" into a book, transporting myself to a fictional time and place. A Wrinkle in Time was the very first book where I took a risk in my 5th grade. I courageously read under the covers at night with a flashlight, ready to defend Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace with all my might. Well, maybe not to the point of sacrificing my life, but I was definitely willing to endure a spanking with the dreaded belt. I simply couldn't put that book down. I was so engrossed that I actually considered Madeleine L'Engle a close, personal friend. At the very least, we were kindred spirits. In today's digital age, we surely would have been friends on Facebook. ;)

About three years ago, I invited my 8-year-old son to read AWIT aloud with me for our nightly reading. It was a bit advanced for him, but he was born a book lover. As a toddler, he would choose to sleep with his favorite books rather than stuffed animals, so I thought he might appreciate it. What an unimaginable joy it was when my child loved the same books I did! He too was on the edge of his seat as we read about Meg and her friends tesseracting through the universe, traversing time, and battling the Black Thing. We could barely contain our excitement, and as we read the book aloud, our voices were filled with emotion. We were scolded more than once by my husband for reading too loudly. We almost woke the baby several times, I'm sure. Hahaha. So, even as a wife, I am willing to risk it all, even waking the baby, to share these classics with my family. :)
