Baby's first sci-fi with a simple theme: love conquers evil. All of the characters are a fascinating combination of grotesque and beautiful that I can't recall any other children's novel including — I'm inclined to say that effect is unique to L'Engle. It's a great, surprisingly nuanced novel that I'd recommend having in any children's library.

The first half of the book and the last moment in the book between meg and charles wallace are divine. The relationships developed between the children in the first half of the book were so special. Was not a fan of the references to christianity. The story also took a darker turn for what i expected from a children's book.

Simply put, a must read for adults and children alike. There's a reason this book is a classic and a reason it defies classification even today.
