Book Review -- A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this back in the day when I was a kid, probably in fifth or sixth grade. Since I didn't remember anything about it, I decided to read it again. It was a bit difficult to get into, but after a few chapters, I was cruising. This is a well-imagined fantasy book with a science fiction twist. Modern kids may struggle a bit since there are times that the writing feels a bit dated (I can vouch for that as several of my sixth graders have tried and abandoned this book), but for those who stick with it, they'll be rewarded with a wonderful fantasy adventure. I gave it four out of five stars because it was slow to start and also because I thought it ended very abruptly. Parents & teachers -- fantasy and adventure peril, children in intense situations with no parental assistance, no foul language, no inappropriate physical situations, ages 10+
