Search - A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, Bk 1)

Unlike many others, I never read this book in middle school or high school. Rather, I first read it in my "Fantasy Literature" class in college (I was the first engineering major to ever take that class - ha ha) and really enjoyed it. I can see why it would appeal to a younger audience - the main characters are children who go on an adventure into the universe to save their father. But I can also understand why we read it at the college level - there's a deeper reliogio-political side to it that's worthy of serious discussion.

This is a 1963 Newbery Medal winner, and the first in a four-part series that also includes: A Wind in the Door; A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which won the American Book Award; and Many Waters.

I have read this book several times in my life and each time I get something new from it. A delightful book for teens and adults alike.

I read this book as an adult because my daughter said it was her favorite, she couldn't say why, it just was. She has read a lot of books so that meant something to me. I decided to pick it up and couldn't put it down. It was such a beautiful story of fantasy and wonder with science and spirituality woven in. I will re-read it and suggest it always. As an added bonus, I discovered it is first in a six book series! I love that and read them all immediatly.

My 7 year old loved it, though I read it with her and it was a little dark in places. I would recommend it generally for 10 and up.

I have always heard of this book but had never read it. It reminded me of the Chronicles of Naria but much smaller.

My 9yr old son really enjoyed this book. He had to read it for his book club. We ended up ordering the rest of the series.
