A Wrinkle in Time is a book about a girl named Meg, her little brother Charles and a boy Calvin. Meg and Charles' dad goes missing and a few years later they go on an adventure to find him. While they try and find him they go through a lot of obstacles. I say this book is kinda a text to world because some children out in the world don't have a dad and go looking for them. I give this book 4 stars because there was a lot going on in the story and it kinda confused me.

A Wrinkle in Time focuses on Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and a boy they stumble upon named Calvin O Keefe. Meg's father mysteriously disappeared years ago and ever since there have been rumors about the Murry's. One day, when all three are together, they're summoned on a mission to find Meg's father, and destroy the IT. I loved this book it was great and I'm glad I had the pleasure of reading it.

"A Wrinkle in Time" is a book where a girl named Meg is considered a moron. She has multiple siblings and her younger brother has a very different quailty. Meg gets very worried about her missing father. They go on a big quest to find him and get themselves into trouble. I would give this book 4 stars because it is very time paassing and gives a great story about a girl about 12 years old.

This is the first really good book that the twist and turn s ,my favorite part is the ending.

"A Wrinkle in Time" is a wonderful book. It displays a young wise and brave girl. Who is on a mission to find out what happened to her dad who disappeared many years ago. This book is a must for people who like fantasy, along with mystery.

Meg's father has been gone for many years and when one day a mysterious stranger comes knocking on the door she wants to uncover the truth. As she, her brother, who is called Charles Wallace, along with Mrs. Who, What, and Which, plus a neighbor named Henry, go on a mission to save her father and to try to stop IT from consuming everything.

This is a really good book! Meg is the main character, a brave and wise girl. Her dad disappeared into space, and Meg went to find him.
