On a dark and stormy night, three strange ladies from another world carry away Meg and Charles Wallace Murray, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe. They must try to rescue Meg and Charles' father, who dissappeared while doing top secret government research. They travel through space and time by way of a tesseract, which is a wrinkle in time. Fans of the original story won't be disappointed by this faithful adaptation. The two-toned illustrations bring the story to life, and gracefully portray the characters.
