A Wrinkle in Time
L'Engle, M. (1962). A wrinkle in time. NY: Farrar,
Straus, and Giroux.
After reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, there
is no doubt this is a fantasy book. This book takes place on Earth as well as
other settings that are mystical. The characters in the book face a villain
with much power and control with odds that are not great. Even though there is
a struggle being faced, the heroin (Meg) prevails over evil by believing and
digging deep within herself. For younger students, I think they would have a
harder time in understanding the “wrinkle” in time with time and space travel.
For someone who is not really into this type of fantasy or science it would be
a book that may have to be reread or clarified.
I really enjoyed how the main character, Meg must learn
something in order to be successful and succeed over evil. As a reader you root
for the characters to overcome and conquer evil. This is one thing about this
book that keeps the reader interested and wanting to continue reading. While
reading, you ask yourself or you could ask students, “Will Meg save her
brother?” “Will they find their father and make it back home?” “Will they successfully
beat IT”
I would recommend this book to grades 4 and higher.
