Meg Murry is awkward, angry, and fiercely loyal. Her father has disappeared. Three strange women arrive who speak in quotes and travel through time and space via a tesseract — a wrinkle in time. What follows is a journey across the universe to rescue her father from a planet controlled by a pulsing, collective brain that has eliminated all difference and all pain by eliminating all freedom. L'Engle published this in 1962 after twenty-six rejections. It remains the most important American children's fantasy novel — not because of the adventure but because of Meg, who saves the universe not through strength or cleverness but through love, which turns out to be the only thing IT cannot compute.
