Synopsis
A Wrinkle in Time is a science fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle, first published in 1962.

It is the first in L'Engle's series of books about the Murry and O'Keefe families.
Reviews
Great read for a kid, adult, or anyone who hasn't lost their sense of mystery and adventure. What if? What if time travel were as easy as L'Engle proposes? I still look for Mrs. Whatsit to point me in the right direction.
This book got me hooked on reading as a child. What bettter praise can you give a book?
