A review by anniefwrites
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

At least my second time reading, and it’s still so unique in the landscape of kids’ lit. I think a lot of readers today would find the way L’Engle combines  religion and science a bit unsettling (as many have in the past), but she does so with unabashed purpose. I love how flawed and real Meg is and the ways she faces difficulty and fear with unwanted courage. It’s a strange book, but irreplaceable.
