About

A Wrinkle in Time, a family story and science fiction, hovers between the real and the imaginative. Heroine Meg Murry, her small brother, Charles Wallace, and their friend, Calvin O'Keefe, travel through time and space to find Meg's father who had disappeared while on a government project. Through sharing this experience, the reader realizes the power of freedom over censorship, that a man's weaknesses may become his strength, and the love may be stronger than all fears.
