A Wrinkle in Time


When Charles Wallace Murry goes searching
through a 'wrinkle in time' for his lost father, he finds himself on an evil
planet where all life is enslaved by a huge pulsating brain known as 'It'.
How Charles, his sister Meg and friend Calvin find and free his father makes
this a very special and exciting mixture of fantasy and science fiction,
which all the way through is dominated by the funny and mysterious trio of
guardian angels known as Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which.

Many Waters


Sandy and Dennys have always been the normal,
run-of-the-mill ones in the extraodinary Murry family. They garden, make an
occasional A in school, and play baseball. Nothing especially interesting
has happened to the twins until they accidentally interrupt their father's
experiment. Then the two boys are thrown across time and space. They find
themselves alone in the desert, where, if they believe in unicorns, they can
find unicorns, and whether they believe or not, mammoths and manticores will
find them. The twins are rescued by Japheth, a man from the nearby oasis,
but before he can bring them to safety, Dennys gets lost. Each boy is
quickly embroiled in the conflicts of this time and place, whose populations
includes winged seraphim, a few stray mythic beasts, perilous and beautiful
nephilim, and small, long lived humans who consider Sandy and Dennys giants.
The boys find they have more to do in the oasis than simply getting
themselves home--they have to reunite an estranged father
An Acceptable Time


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 sit
down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way,
there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader
doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the
enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. "A Wrinkle in Time," winner of the
Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of
Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the
most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a
scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on
the tesseract problem.
