A Wrinkle in Time


A Wrinkle in Time by Madeliene Le'Engle. 

One of my favorite books growing up. The thought of being able to travel through time and space by the power of thought and science was interesting to me. I've read the book many many times, and still find that each of the characters have many dimensions as the book progresses. Meg, the protagonist, struggles to fit in and conform to the world around her. Her younger brother Charles Wallace is a child prodigy, so smart that he too is often misunderstood. As they travel through space to find their lost father, they reach the planet Camazotz. There they face one of the coolest adversaries in children's literature: IT.
