A Wrinkle in Time

Author: Madeleine L'Engle

On a dark and stormy night, Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin meet three mysterious beings—Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which. Together, they embark on a fantastical journey through time and space to rescue Meg’s father, who is trapped on another planet by an evil darkness. A blend of science fiction and adventure, “A Wrinkle in Time” is a heartwarming tale of courage, friendship, and the power of love. It’s a book that always feels like coming home, no matter how many times you read it.

Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.
