This is Book 1 of the Time Quintet Series It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. "Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem. A Wrinkle in Time is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal.

📚 Why We Recommend It

For readers 9+ who crave stories that blend cosmic wonder with quiet, relatable heart—A Wrinkle in Time isn’t just a science fantasy classic; it’s a love letter to anyone who’s ever felt “different.”

Madeleine L’Engle’s 1963 Newbery Medal winner starts with a scene so cozy it feels like home: a dark, stormy night, Meg Murry, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mom in the kitchen—until a strange stranger bursts in, talking of “tesseracts” (wrinkles in time) and setting off an adventure that spans galaxies. Meg’s mission? Find her dad, a scientist who vanished while studying time travel. But this isn’t just a quest through space: it’s a journey for Meg to embrace her own awkwardness, fear, and strength, alongside new friend Calvin (the popular kid with a soft heart) and Charles Wallace (her wise-beyond-his-years brother).
