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.
The characters from A House Like a Lotus return in what PW called ``a rich and heady brew . . . fine fantasy, firmly rooted in reality.'' Ages 10-up. (Dec.)

Acceptable Time
"Okay, Polly," her grandfather said. "Let's have some normal, ordinary lesson time. What is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?"
Reading the following books in a series when the first book is your favourite book of all time is a scary process. Every new book has a chance to ruin the first one for you. When I started reading this one, I thought that was it. Luckily, this book seems to be made of two parts: the first is boring, preachy, made of 90% useless dialogue and feels like the author was just trying to make the story longer; the second part is just as good as the rest. So I decided to give an average rating of three stars, but I might change my mind. Anyway, my appreciation of a A Wrinkle in Time has not changed one bit: it's still my favourite book of all time, and I am glad I didn't stop reading the series out of fear! This book thought me that sometimes you have to push though something boring to get to the good part. I will think about this next time I mindlessly DNF some book at page 50. Goodbye, Time Quintet! See you at my next re-read! 👋
