"One of America’s most beloved stories." ―Andrew Liptak in Kirkus
“A coming of age fantasy story that sympathizes with typical teen girl awkwardness and insecurity, highlighting courage, resourcefulness and the importance of family ties as key to overcoming them.” ―Carol Platt Liebau, author, New York Post
A Wrinkle in Time (1962) is a young adult novel written by American author Madeleine L'Engle. The book won the Newbery Medal, the Sequoyah Book Award, the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. The main characters--Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O'Keefe--embark on a journey through space and time, from galaxy to galaxy, as they endeavor to save the Murrys' father and the world.
The novel offers a glimpse into the war between light and darkness, and good and evil, as the young characters mature into adolescents on their journey. L'Engle modeled the Murry family on her own which shares the common joy with a mixed fantasy and science fiction setting.
The book has inspired two film adaptations, both by Disney: a 2003 television film directed by John Kent Harrison, and a 2018 theatrical film directed by Ava DuVernay.
About the Author
Madeleine L'Engle Camp (1918-2007) was an American writer of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and young adult fiction, including A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels: A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time. Her works reflect both her Christian faith and her strong interest in modern science.
She had a passion for writing from her childhood, instead of having an interest in schoolwork, she used to write poems, stories, and journals for herself. The passion kept growing over the years even after having a baby. She lived through the 20th century and into the 21st and wrote over 60 books. She enjoyed being with her friends, her children, her grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren.
