I remember this book being read to me when I was in grade school (maybe grade 4 or 5) and I thought it was the most amazing story then... as I still do today! I cannot wait to read this to my boys. I just bought the series at Chapters and am thrilled to be starting it all over again more than well... a number of years since I first ran away with Charles Wallace... A must read for anyone with an active imagination! Enjoy it!

I went ahead and added this book because it was the first book that we had to read in school that interested me. I just loved everything about it so much that I just had to read the follow up books.

I absolutely adore this book. I read it when I was in fifth grade and just reread it again as a senior and, while it's definitely not aimed at someone my age, I still enjoyed it. Highly recommend!!

Just reread the book. It was among my favorites when I read it as a child. Very interesting (as well as easy and quick) to read as an adult.

A Wrinke in Time is one of those classic books that I missed out on when I was the target audience and so I've just recently borrowed it from the library. I don't know how I missed this as a kid because it's exactly up my alley. A group of children tapped to help fight evil and who are introduced to life beyond the Earth? Awesome! It reminded me strongly of the My Teacher is an Alien series in theme. I very much enjoyed the descriptions and explanations of tessering as well as the inhabitants of both Camazotz and Ixchel. The main force of evil in the book was suitably scary and I'm not ashamed to admit that the scene on the outskirts of a city on Camazotz - where everyone was doing everything in unison - creeped me the hell out. In fact, I was so caught up in the details that I kind of overlooked the plot. I had forgotten somewhere in the course of the book that the kids were only out there in space to save Mr. Murry. I couldn't believe that they left the fate of Camazotz unresolved and didn't even mention the shadow over Earth once they returned to their own backyard. I had realized by the last chapter that this was the first book in a series, but I had expected L'Engle to set up the next book through some mention of the evil that still lurks all throughout space and especially over the Earth itself. And now that I'm looking at the summaries for the next books, I'm not at all certain that I'll ever find out what happens with this plot. If you know, please advise me! If the Dark Thing gets resolved, I would love to borrow the rest of the series through an inter-library loan but if this is the last we hear of it, then I won't bother. Though Charles Wallace was freaky as hell, Meg and Calvin were just sort of bland. I can see that Meg was supposed to be relateable, but mostly she just annoyed me. I think of everyone, I liked Mrs. Whatsit best and wouldn't hesitate to learn more about her, but other than the ethereal characters, I didn't have much interest in the people of the story; I was far more interested in the world-building going on.

This was such a pleasure to read as a kid, and then i reread it when my daughter got old enough to enjoy it - a wonderful idea, and so well written!!

I liked the beginning of it, but I honestly did not care much for this book. However, I am very glad that I read it! :)

I read this so long ago, I feel like I should read it again before I rate it.

Before Stargate, Star Wars and even Star Trek there was Madline L'Engle and a Wrinkle in Time. I discovered Madeline L'engle when my mother was taking a children's lit course. Subsequently I have read every book she was written for both children and adults. But this will probably always be my all time favorite.

Tessaracts was a term I'd heard from my daughter who is all into space and its dimensions. This book with its various nuances is a good read for kids who appreciate perceptive and critical thinking -recommended for 10+.
