That’s how Meg feels, with brilliant scientist parents, athletic and likeable twin brothers, and a genius younger brother. Then one night the mysterious Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which come to tell them that their father is in trouble and needs their help.
Meg, her younger brother Christopher Wallace, and their new friends Calvin find themselves traveling through space in a tesseract, or wrinkle in time. They find themselves on a planet where the people seem to have no soul and no differences and everything is run by IT. Can the children defeat IT and find Meg’s father. Will Meg finally figure out how she fits in her family? You’ll have to read the book to find out!
