"A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read it so often, I know it by heart." —Meg Cabot

This audiobook includes an introduction read by the film director Ava DuVernay, a foreword read by the author, and an afterword read by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis.

Late one night, three otherworldly creatures appear and sweep Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe away on a mission to save Mr. Murry, who has gone missing while doing top-secret work for the government. They travel via tesseract--a wrinkle that transports one across space and time--to the planet Camazotz, where Mr. Murry is being held captive. There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murry but the safety of the whole universe.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in Madeleine L’Engle’s Time Quintet, followed by A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

I know this book has a lot of history and it is easy to see why it resonates so strongly with some people, but not with me. It is a great kids book and has many rewarding features . It has aged very well indeed (1962) which shows how great it is, and it may be that its age is what cant hook me now I read it for the first time now (2018). Lovely characters and I wish this was a book that I had read to my kids when they were young. They got Charlotte and Jonathan Livingstone instead.

Not truly special, but it is a great kids book.

I've loved this book ever since I first read it. The performance does the book justice and I've listened to it several times since I bought it. It really is worth listening to. Camazotz and IT give me the shivers every time. This is a wonderful book in the sense that parts of it fill me with wonder.

Wonderful

first few chapters were quite confusing as I struggled to understand the purpose of the book and the storyline. But once the journey began, I knew I was in for a thrill.

confusing at first... and up to the end... Catchy.
