I've read it so often, I know it by heart." —Meg Cabot. Late one night, three otherworldly creatures appear and sweep Meg Murry, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe away on a mission to save Mr. Murray, who has gone missing while doing top-secret work for the government. They travel via tesseract--a wrinkle that transports one across space and time--to the planet Camazotz, where Mr. Murray is being held captive. There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murray but the safety of the whole universe. A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in Madeleine L’Engle’s Time Quintet, followed by A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The imagination and creativity in this story were incredible. I loved the blend of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure, and the idea of traveling through space and time felt both whimsical and thought-provoking. For a book first published decades ago, it still feels surprisingly unique."; "The world building was beyond imaginative. I loved the planets they explored, the mountains that went endlessly into the sky, the laughing medium who showed earth, and the opaque planet with aunt beast."; "Here's a book that I neglected to read as a child but thoroughly loved as an adult."
