Chatting Books Online Day 102. Today's recommended book can be best summed up by the statement: The Book was Better. So even though there is a recent star studded movie made of Madeleine L'Engle's classic "A Wrinkle n Time" do yourself a favor and read the book instead.
This is a magical book , voted one of the 11 best Children's Books of all time (don't get me started on why they chose 11 and not 10 or 12, that is a rant for another day). In the book Meg Murray and her brother Charles Wallace set off on a mission to save their father, the scientist who has disappeared mysteriously while working on a tesseract project for the government. A tesseract you see is a hole or "wrinkle" in time. When strange beings start showing up at and near their house (enter Mrs.Whatsit, Mrs. Who , and Mrs. Which) things start to get weird, the kids get curious and worried, and the adventures begin.
