A classic battle of good versus evil as well as a reflection on the value of being true to oneself and the power of love and faith, A WRINKLE IN TIME is the first book in the Time Quartet series. Meg Murry, the daughter of two brilliant scientists, is a socially awkward 12-year-old who has trouble fitting in at school. Her closest friend is her younger brother, Charles Wallace, an extremely bright 4-year-old who is also gifted with second sight.

Sequel falls disappointingly short

Date of Review:  Jun 12, 2000
Review: When I read A Wind in the Door, I was sorely disappointed. For some reason, L'Engle's writing wasn't quite what it had been for A Wrinkle in Time or any of the other books concerning the Murray/O'Keefe fan.
