鈥淚t was a dark and stormy night...鈥�

Okay, I haven鈥檛 read A Wrinkle in Time since fifth grade, so I was kind of nervous going into this. Yet, I was very pleasantly surprised, and I鈥檓 even more excited to see the new movie adaptation in March! I mean, this reads a little 鈥渙ld鈥� and 鈥渟imple鈥� but it was still such a delight to read. I will say that I didn鈥檛 remember any of the religious/spiritual aspects that were woven in, so apparently fifth grade Melanie, who went to a Catholic school and everything, just pushed those out of her mind throughout the years.

The basic premise of A Wrinkle in Time, that I鈥檓 sure you all know, stars a young girl named Meg is one of four siblings in her family, and both of her parents are scientists. Meg and Charles are very intelligent, therefore outcasts, but where their twin siblings, who are of normal IQ, fit in just fine. One day, her father goes missing and Meg, Charles, and their new friend, Calvin, meet a very peculiar trio, who take them on an intergalactic adventure that they will never forget. They essentially travel by folding or 鈥渨rinkling鈥� time.

Overall, this was a super enjoyable read, that totally did give me a swift kick in the nostalgia feels. Yet, I鈥檓 not sure how well it would hold up if this was your first time experiencing the story. I do feel like there is a little something here for everyone, and even though this is considered a middle grade book, I do think it holds up pretty well for most ages. And honestly? Even reading this in 2018, this is still a very unique book.

鈥淭here will no longer be so many pleasant things to look at if responsible people do not do something about the unpleasant ones.鈥�

This is a story about love, and family, and faith, and being able to think for yourself. I can totally understand why this is a literary classic, and I鈥檓 so happy I reread it! And now I鈥檓 totally pumped for the movie!
