Meg Murry is a brilliant student, although all her friends
and teachers tend to regard her as a troublesome kid. Her parents are scientists, and her genius father
has been inexplicably missing for several months. One stormy night, Meg and her brother Charles
are having a late snack when their eccentric new neighbor, Mrs. Whatsit, bursts
in with an amazing announcement. Mr.
Murry is apparently still alive, although his research has somehow caused him
to be propelled off through space and time into a mysterious fifth dimension
known as a tessaract. Armed with this
new knowledge, Meg sets off with Charles and her school friend Calvin in an
attempt travel through space-time and rescue her father!
I’ve never been a huge reader of science fiction, but this book
is an example of a story that transcends the genre. It’s been a perennial favorite for readers of
all ages, no doubt due to its amazing story and well-thought-out plotline. I’ve made it a personal goal to read further on
into Ms. L’Engle other books in the series, collectively known as “The Time
Quintet”, and if you’re looking for an amazing adventure then you’re more than
welcome to join me!
