A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle
January 31st, 2012 (first edition, 1962) from Farrar, Straus, and Giroux
Okay, I admit it. I've had this book sitting on my office shelf for years. When I worked in a middle school library, this book was checked out constantly and kids were always placed on a wait list to read it. I knew it was popular because of the big Newbery Medal winner sticker on the jacket. When I was asked to read for the very first time, I knew I had to finally give this one a try. I hope you do too!
Meg, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin defy their personal beliefs of space and time when they magically travel through a "wrinkle" to save Meg and Charles Wallace's father from a dark and mysterious force called "The Dark Thing." With the help of three otherworldly old women, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which, they journey to other planets and meet mystical creatures who are all in a war against this evil force. When Charles Wallace is overtaken by It, the Dark Thing leader, Meg must gather all of her strength and brave the creature on her own. Even if that means losing her own life or not seeing her family or Calvin again.
