Annotation:
When you're beamed into another world, you ask a lot of questions and learn many new things. Meg now knows that nothing may ever make sense again.
"Only a fool is not afraid."
Afraid of what you may ask? Afraid of the unknown, afraid of the unsolved mysteries, and of the unanswered questions. Meg Murry wants to know what happened to her father, a scientist who has disappeared during a business trip. And who are these strange new neighbors, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which? Her younger brother, Charles Wallace, and her new friend, Calvin O’Keefe are not prepared when they find themselves flying through a new planet after time traveling. New creatures, brilliant colors, and dark shadows come together and capture the hearts and emotions of three unique and strange children, who barely fit in on their own planet, yet alone explore this new one. Where is Meg’s father? What is a tesseract? How will Meg, Charles, and Calvin get home to their families who don't understand them? Pick up a Wrinkle in Time to find out!
