What can be stated here about this wonderful story that hasn't ben stated prior. It is a classic for a good reason. I love the Sci Fi adventure aspects of this story but the characters from Charles Wallace, Meg and the Mrs.'s all make for a wonderful story of adventure, love, temptation, choices, and it is all wrapped up so beautifully in the writing style of Ms. L'Engle. If only we could travel that quickly...only in our imaginations, being guided by literature like this.

Still one of my favorite books of all time. ( )

The story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract (a wrinkle in time) problem.

In this book, nothing ever seems to go right in Margaret Murray's life. She's having trouble in school, she's always getting into fights and she's a big clutz. To make matters worse, there's been no word from her father, and rumor is that he's left for good. Late one night an unexpected visitor drops by leaving behind a mysterious clue - there is such a thing as a tesseract! Suddenly Meg, her little brother, Charles Wallace and a boy from school, Calvin, are swept into a deadly adventure to rescue Meg's father. ( )

Genre: Science Fiction - This story is a good example of science fiction because it relates to science in many ways, but somethings are made up and are things that could not happen. They just have to do with something that a scientist would be researching. The story also takes place in space and the parents are scientists, but what they are actually doing in the story has not been proven as real. The characters go along with science fiction very well in that they are weird and sometimes do not make sense. I thought it was a very good book, and something that students would enjoy to read for fun.

Setting: All of the different places it takes place sounds really interesting and cool. If any of the places that it took place in would of been any different the story would not of made sense. They went to another planet to find their father so of course it has to take place in space. The setting was key in this book, and they did a very good job.

Art Media: None

Style: There are a lot of metaphors and similes used. It really helped to get the message across so I could understand what is going on. It made the story more interesting and enjoyable to read. I also noticed that a lot of dialogue was used, which is helpful to see what is going on and to understand the characters a lot better.
