About this listen
Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, now a major motion picture. This audiobook includes an introduction read by the film director Ava DuVernay, a foreword read by the author, and an afterword read by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis.
Meg Murray, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mother are having a midnight snack on a dark and stormy night when an unearthly stranger appears at their door. He claims to have been blown off course, and goes on to tell them that there is such a thing as a “tesseract”, which, if you didn’t know, is a wrinkle in time. Meg’s father had been experimenting with time-travel when he suddenly disappeared. Will Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin outwit the forces of evil as they search through space for their father?
In 1962, Madeleine L’Engle debuted her novel A Wrinkle in Time, which would go on to win the 1963 Newbery Medal. Bridging science and fantasy, darkness and light, fear and friendship, the story became a classic of children’s literature and is beloved around the world.
A Wrinkle in Time is the first 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 Acceptable Time.

All her life, Mulan has trained for one purpose: to win the duel that every generation in her family must fight. If she prevails, she can reunite a pair of priceless heirloom swords separated decades earlier, and avenge her father, who was paralyzed in his own duel. Then a messenger from the Emperor arrives, demanding that all families send one soldier to fight the Rouran invaders in the north. Mulan's father cannot go. Her brother is just a child. So she ties up her hair, takes up her sword, and joins the army as a man.

Didn’t Live Up to Expectations
I had high expectations set in part by the long prologue and by the existence of a movie. I thought this would be a sci-fi fantasy, not a religious allegory.

Not a huge fan
I’m not a big fan of this book, too pedantic for my taste.
I found the narrator annoying. The only reason I stuck with it is because my niece and I were reading it together and I needed a quick refresher.

Classic fantasy book
Here is a book that was written in the 60's (I read this in the late 70's), and thought that it would make a great movie series (which is now happening). It is one of those ageless books that one never tires of. The audible book brought me right back to when it read it 4 decades ago and I loved it every bit as much as I did then. The reading was very well done and would be a great listen for any long road trip with children (or for those adults who love this sort of thing). The story is very magical as well as having a science bent to it.
