Teenager Meg Murry, her little brother Charles Wallace, and friend Calvin O'Keefe, go on an adventure to find Meg and Charles' father, a scientist who has been missing for over a year.

Every year I try to pick out a classic to read. Usually I question why a particular book is considered a classic. What makes people love it so much? I finished reading this classic children's book and have to say I had a hard time finishing it.

The story started off well, introducing the characters. I liked the first couple of chapters, but once we got into the plot of the story, I was a bit lost. They talked about a Tessoract, but didn't explain what it was right away. By the time I found out, I really didn't care.

I'm going to chalk this up to the fact that I don't like fantasy books. The story was okay for me, but I still don't know why it is considered a classic. My rating: 2.5 Stars.
