A Wrinkle In Time Quintet by Madeleine L’Engle
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
“Wild nights are my glory,” the unearthly stranger told them. “I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me be on my way. Speaking of way, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract”.
Meg’s father had been experimenting with this fifth dimension of time travel when he mysteriously disappeared. Now the time has come for Meg, her friend Calvin, and Charles Wallace to rescue him. But can they outwit the forces of evil they will encounter on their heart-stopping journey through space?
Madeleine L’Engle was an American writer best known for her Young Adult fiction, particularly the Newbery Medal-winning A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and Many Waters. Her works reflect her strong interest in modern science: tesseracts, for example, are featured prominently in A Wrinkle in Time, mitochondrial DNA in A Wind in the Door, organ regeneration in The Arm of the Starfish, and so forth.
“Madeleine was born on November 29th, 1918, and spent her formative years in New York City. Instead of her school work, she found that she would much rather be writing stories, poems and journals for herself, which was reflected in her grades (not the best). However, she was not discouraged.
Yeah so I had never heard of this book series until I saw the trailer for it recently. So I’m keen on reading the books then watching the movie so I can hate it and rant to people that it’s nothing like the books. Or be surprised and say it was really close. Either way, both look really great!
Did you know:
The first A Wrinkle in Time book was published in 1973
Have you read the Wrinkle in Time series? What are you thoughts on it? Will you be watching the movie?
A-Scribe To Describe 
I have heard of this series, though I’ve never read it. You can’t go wrong with a little time travel though.
Haha no you can’t. Maybe we should read the series too, join the band wagon.
I’m down. 🙂
I read these books when I was at school. Along with Ursula K. Le Guin, they sparked my love of fantasy and science fiction. Definitely worth a read! I’ll join you in reading the series again. 🙂
Oooh we should like totally start this book club. It’s been waaaay to long.
