I love this series sooooo much! In this story, the Murry family, mother and father are theoretical scientists, working to better mankind, the father is working on a tesseract, a way to travel trough space, when he suddenly disappears. much to my dismay a spoiler must be the rest of the following post. If you have not read this book, click 1)because you must read this book. Now I would like to point out, that this story is a coming of age for Meg Murry. Originally, I assumed that Charles Wallace Murry would come of age simply because he is the youngest, and seemingly, and in some ways is, the most innocent. Charles is also in some ways, the most vulnerable, as he is not used to the evils of this world, however Meg must learn to deal with herself as a person, as a gift, Ms. Whatsit gives Meg "her faults". Meg grows up to become a beautiful smart woman who is married to Calvin, the boy who accompanies her on her journey to the mysterious planet of Camazots.
Charles wallace remains absent from many of the other Wrinkle books, however Madeline claims that he is still alive. This author has written beautiful work and developed the characters wonderfully along the course of the story. Some references are made to the bible , however, instead of detracting from the book it, like all of Madeline's other information, has a sturdy basis in our world, instead of her science fiction one. The story forces us to think in more ways than can be counted.
For this book, thank you Madiline
