A Wrinkle In Time, by Madeleine L’EngleRead about the other entries on the list.
“It was a dark and stormy night.” Nothing could be cozier than cocoa in a warm kitchen on a storm-tossed night, or creepier and more thrilling than a sudden interruption from the outside world. After this stellar beginning in the Murry family home, Meg Murry, her brilliant little brother Charles Wallace, and her soulmate, Calvin, follow three strange old women (who are much, much more than they appear) through time and space to save the Murrys’ scientist father from, nbd, forces of pure unadulterated evil. Lucky for us readers, this was just the first in a five-book series.
A Wrinkle in Time is among Cressida Cowell's list of ten top mythical creatures and Steve Cole's top ten space books for kids of all ages.
