In A Wrinkle In Time by Madeline L’Engle, Meg Murry, a confused high school girl, gets involved in a journey through space to help find her missing dad. Her journey began when she was introduced to her strange new neighbors Mrs.Whatsit, Mrs.Which, and Mrs.Who by her little brother Charles Wallace. On the way back home from meeting them, Charles Wallace and Meg ran into a boy named Calvin who became fast friends with them. After they finished dinner Meg and he went outside. The next thing they knew they were in a totally different place and Charles Wallace and Meg’s new neighbors were there too. The Mrs.W’s explained to them that they were magical witches and they were there to help save their missing dad. This was officially when their journey began. Throughout the book Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace go through space by themselves searching for and trying to help their missing dad. They end up at a place called Camazotz where everything is controlled by IT. On this planet they find their dad. They go through many obstacles and problems, but finally end up safe at their house again, this time with their dad. All together, A Wrinkle In Time is a book about a tremendous journey that you will never forget.

In my opinion, A Wrinkle in Time was an interesting book that will continue to be a tremendous classic and read by ongoing children. At times the book was a bit confusing because there was a lot of detail, but at the end everything comes into place. I wouldn’t necessarily read it again right now, but maybe when I get older. It really wasn’t the most enjoyable book I've read, but still it was worth reading.
