A Wrinkle in Time
by Madeleine L'Engle
A Wrinkle in Time is a children’s classic, and most adults who read it are revisiting their past. I never read it until recently, so my first experience with the magical world of Mrs. Who and Mrs. Whatsit was as a young adult. It was still a pretty cute story.
Two young children live in a semi-fractured home. Their father is missing, but not in the traditional sense. As the kids soon find out, he discovered a wrinkle in time and disappeared into a vortex in search of. . . Well, parts of it get a little complicated, but maybe the true science fiction/fantasy lovers out there won’t be so confused. The children meet magical ladies and head off in search of their father.
It’s a sibling bonding story wrapped up in a fantasy blanket, with some humor for the kids and some suspense for the grown-ups. Read it if you haven’t already. It’s pretty short and afterwards you can sound really smart with your friends who like to discuss time travel!
