Question

Book review of a wrinkle in time

Answer 1

My friend told me this was one of her favorite books when she was a child. I wasn't a big reader as a kid, and am playing catch-up. I was surprised this was a kid's book! It has some heady thoughts on God, free choice, and love.I would think the subject matter would be over some kid's heads. Then I read a quote from Madeline L'Engle: "You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children." Touché! It was a page-turner and I finished it in a day. The darkness is scary. My son (10) said he didn't want to see the movie thinking it would be too dark for him (perceptive kid). I plan to read this book with him if he allows it because the characters are so well-written.
