Clarification


Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, now a major motion moving picture.

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 only got caught in a downdraft and diddled off form. Allow me sit down down for a moment, and so I'll exist on my way. Speaking of ways, by the style, there is such a thing every bit a tesseract."

A tesseract (in example the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in fourth dimension. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss Fifty'Engle's unusual book. A Contraction in Fourth dimension, 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, educatee, and one of the virtually popular boys in high schoolhouse). They are in search of One thousand thousand's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the regime on the tesseract trouble.

A Wrinkle in Fourth dimension is the winner of the 1963 Newbery Medal. It is the starting time book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Adequate Time.

A Contraction in Fourth dimension is now a movie from Disney, directed past Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.

This title has Common Cadre connections.

Praise for A Wrinkle in Time:

"A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all fourth dimension. I've read it so ofttimes, I know it past centre. Million Murry was my hero growing up. I wanted glasses and braces and my parents to stick me in an attic bedroom. And I so wanted to save Charles Wallace from IT." —Meg Cabot

"A book that every immature person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a meliorate place." —Cory Doctorow
