Meg always felt she was different and when she and her little brother Charles Murry go searching for their lost father, they find themselves travelling on a dangerous journey through a 'wrinkle in time'. As the cosmic evil forces of darkness threaten to swallow the universe, Meg must overcome her insecurities and channel all her inner strengths - her stubbornness, anger and ultimately her love - to save her family. An exciting mixture of fantasy and science fiction, which all the way through is dominated by the funny and mysterious trio of guardian angels known as Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which, A Wrinkle in Time is an empowering story about the battle between good and evil and the power of love.
This movie tie-in edition of the timeless novel features the complete, unabridged original text, and an introduction by the film's director, Ava DuVernay.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Meg Murry is a strange, awkward and furious girl who’s always in trouble at school. Instead of homework, she’s preoccupied with her enigmatic little brother and her missing scientist father. When three witches take Meg travelling through space-time to find him, it’s a momentous journey for both her and us. A Wrinkle in Time was many young readers’ introduction to science fiction—Madeleine L’Engle mixes magic and awe with sophisticated moral and emotional themes. Using wit and love to save the world from dark forces, Meg is a ‘60s-era heroine we need just as much right now.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hope Davis narrates this engaging new audio production of L'Engle's classic novel. When the troubled and underachieving Meg Murry's physicist father goes missing, Meg along with her younger brother, Charles, and friend Calvin warps across the universe in an attempt to find him. The trio is aided by three angels, Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which, who use Dr. Murray's mysterious tesseract project to whisk the children through space and time. Davis delivers pitch-perfect narration that captures the spirit of the author's prose. She also creates distinct voices for the book's many characters, most notably the petulant Meg and enthusiastic Calvin. Listeners are in for a real treat and longtime L'Engle fans will delight in Davis's outstanding performance, which breathes new life into this acclaimed fantasy title. Ages 10 up.
