I decided I needed to read A Wrinkle in Time after reading When You Reach Me, by Rebecca Stead. In When You Reach Me, the main character references a A Wrinkle in Time, over and over again, and since I had never read it, I figured that I would add it to my list.
A Wrinkle in Time was a very enjoyable read, with rich vocabulary, I can definitely see why it won a Newberry Award.
Hmmm, so a synopsis, this is kind of tricky. So basically Meg's father is missing and has been for awhile (years). He was working for the government on a secret mission, and hadn't really been heard from again. Then these three strange ladies show up, and are going to help get Meg's father back. Of course the ladies are not really what they seem. The story is of Meg's adventure with her unique younger brother Charles Wallace, and a boy from school Calvin O'Keefe. They tesser (with the help of the three ladies) through time and space to other planets to find Meg's father. They learn of the the Black Thing, who has their own planet in shadow, and has others under its control.
