- I love this book
- Ever since her dad went missing, Meg has had a new life. People tease her and her youngest brother Charles, she stands up for her family, and she gets in trouble. This routine made Meg realize that she needs her dad back. So when her smart brother Charles meets an old lady named Mrs. Which, she knows it's her chance to get him back. 2 more old ladies join them, and with Meg, Charles, the three old ladies, and a random kid named Calvin head on an adventure to find truth, reality, and Meg's dad. When they realize they will face serious danger to get Mr. Murry back, their goal changes: No matter what, EVERYONE is to be brought back safely, including Charles, who has a strange connection with the Dark Thing that rules overhead. Will Meg fulfill her dream and get her dad back, or will dark forces stop her from getting there?

- A Wrinkle in Time was a very good and easily understandable book. Its about the protagonist Meg Murry and Charles Wallace trying to find there dad who had been missing for about 3 years with her friend Calvin O'Keefe. I gave this book a four star rating because this book wasn't too different from the two movies both in 2003 and 2018.
