I can see why this is considered a classic. I hadn't actually read this novel until later on in life, I'm sort of sorry I waited so long. Any young reader in love with fantasy will enjoy this novel. It is mysterious enough to keep you reading and has this adventurous soul that keeps moving throughout the novel carrying you along for the ride. What an endearing little book. I really enjoyed it. It was spiritually
calming and definitely something I will be reading to my future
children.

This was such a great book I couldn't put it down! I loved this book because a lot of the things that the author clearly made up seemed completely real when the concepts were explained. One of them was the concept of a tesserect being a fifth dimension of travel where a straight line is not the shortest distance between two points. I feel like the idea of a tesserect or a wrinkle in time was actually real when I was reading the book. The book is a little old but it still seems like any teen today would really enjoy the book because I enjoyed it so much. If you like young science fiction novels you will probably like this book.

I read A Wrinkle in time for school and i really liked it. I felt like I actually knew the characters, Meg, Charles, and Calvin. It tells about Meg, Charles, and Calvin going on an adventure to find Mr. Murry(charles and Meg's father) They meet exciting obstacles along the way. It is very well written and I reccomend it.

Meg, C.W., and their friend Calvin go on a search for Meg and C.W's father, who has gone missing. They run into a lot of memorable characters, and there is some really fun play on words in this book. The ending is pretty expected, but it doesn't take away from the story at all. It's a nice spin on regular fantasy books.

There were truths buried underneath this book. The lessons and the ideas were thought-provoking. The story is endearing.
I think many teenage girls will be able to relate to Meg, who is going through a lot of the issues we have today as teenagers. Charles Wallace is a loving small brother - who wouldn't want that? The Mrs. W's are exceptionally wise, yet their characters still manage to be funny in their own way.
This book was very nice, altogether.

I don't remeber reading it as a child, I don't think young children could appreciate it very much. I think that this is one of those books that you need to read when you're older to really appreciate. It was mysterious, but well written. It just seemed to jump all over the place and was at times confusing, but, it was interesting and I found myself pushing forward to finish it.

A Wrinkle in Time was a very interesting book. It took the way we look at time and turned it completly backwards. Tessering sounds like a lot of fun, and i am glad that they all came out victorious. I will never forget this book for as long as i live. Any person, young or old, looking for a book to read has no buisness reading any other book. Thanks so much to the author.

I have loved this book since I was 12 years old (many moons ago) and I was so happy to teach it to my seventh graders last year. I love the fact that Meg doesn't fit in with her family or at school. I love the fact that we get to see her mature throughout the book. I also love the clever little quips like finding a "Happy Medium."
It's just one of my favorite Science Fiction books to read on my own and to teach from.

seriously...Why do teacheres even bother making us read this book? I have no idea why people like this book? I totally hated it. Especailly main character who irrtated me like crazy. I thought that the characters really needed some work. Not only that, I just thougth that the story needed some work too. I also found that the overall plot was just plain out boring! I wasn't enchanted by reading the first couple of pages. more like i was bored to death, i wanted to burn my stupid copy, as well as get this book banned. i know that sounds terrible, but i just really really hated this book. It just seemed pointless to me. And did i mention how much the main character irritated me? WHy did they even make a movie out of this?
