Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time is a fantastical story about Meg and her "baby" brother, Charles Wallace. Their father has been gone for a couple years, and no one knows where he is. When a stranger enters their house one night while Charles Wallace, Meg and their mother are enjoying a midnight snack, the children's lives are turned upside-down, and they face dangers that force them to tap into strength they've never before tested.
A Wrinkle in Time is a tale about the power of love, and what one will do for the precious people in one's life. I can't see how I would use this in my classroom, but it's a classic and a great story (I couldn't put it down), and it will certainly be in my classroom library, recommended especially to those who enjoy fantasy and science fiction.
