Interesting how describing a book integrates this story.

I really wanted to find this book amazing. I just didn't. It was a good book, it just food not have that something special. The storyline was very good and I liked the way that it was written as Mira thought and figured it out. In that way I thought it was really good, I guess I was just looking for more. However it is the second book that made me want to reread a Wrinkle in Time...maybe that is a sign...I will admit later down the road I might reread this to see if my opinion changes.

Found on NYT while looking for a new 3rd grade book club book...sounds fantastic there and from Amazon reviews

This month's book club selection - WOW - this was GREAT! It touched on issues of latchkey kids, homelessness, elementary school friend drama, single parenthood, different kinds of families etc. at a TOTALLY appropriate level, all in the midst of a really cool time-traveling mystery.

This is technically a children's book, but so well-written and cleverly plotted that I think anyone would enjoy it. It's one that's hard to describe without giving too much away beyond just that it's about a young teen in New York who is having some struggles with her relationships. This one has a big twist at the end!

I listened to this on CD. It is completely kid friendly.

Fun story. Fun especially for me since it is set in my childhood even though it was written only a few years ago. Also, if you are an A Wrinkle in Time fan you will enjoy it more.
