Quick and snappy, A Wrinkle in Time has just enough sci-fi absurdism to be entertaining but still understood by children. Due to time, the dialogue feels a tad bit stilted and goofy, but in a charming way. I also think it's nice to get a female protagonist that isn't brilliantly smart, instead of the usual smart girl bookworm you find leading so many other middle grade and children's stories.

There’s a lot to this, and while it reads comfortably as a kids book, I see how it’s lived on.
Book club: mid-5/6
Explore descriptive language (especially of setting) and character design (power of character flaws)
Themes around love, acceptance and valuing difference
Big questions around time travel/physics, and the ethics of utopia (equal doesn’t mean alike)
