Let’s be honest. Meg Murray would like to know where her scientist father is. She’d like to help rescue him, too, except that she’s got more than a few doubts about herself and her abilities. And of course there’s the issue of her younger brother, Charles Wallace. And then there’s the fact that when the strange women show up, claiming to know her father’s whereabouts, Meg can’t quite wrap her head around his location—which, let’s just say, isn’t anywhere on Earth. Whether Meg chooses to undertake this journey isn’t the main drama of A Wrinkle in Time. But the results of her choice—for Meg and for her family—make for one unforgettable story.
