Summary: Fifty years ago, Madeleine L’Engle introduced the world to A Wrinkle in Time and the wonderful and unforgettable characters Meg and Charles Wallace Murry, and their friend Calvin O’Keefe. When the children learn that Mr. Murry has been captured by the Dark Thing, they time travel to Camazotz, where they must face the leader IT in the ultimate battle between good and evil—a journey that threatens their lives and our universe
My Thoughts: Thought provoking, and much deeper than it appears on the surface. I thought it reminiscent to C.S. Lewis's space trilogy and Narnian Chronicles. I wish this book was still as popular as it was when it was first published. I enjoyed reading about the author's life and now feel like we are fast friends. The symbolism was catching and made one pause and I can tell this is going to be one I'll have to read over again to fully understand. The Christian morals were refreshing and it reminded me that I am here on earth to fight a great and ongoing battle against the Adversary and that the light and love of Christ is truly the only way to overcome anything.
