A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeleine L'Engle






Madeleine L'Engle's A WRINKLE IN TIME sparked a mind-bending, universe-hopping conversation this month that spanned from Shakespeare to Pluto, tesseracts to sweetshops, and got us talking about time travel and whether in the future we might be able to live on Mars (if, say, we found a way to put a bubble round the planet and built a huge long tube to pipe oxygen there so we could breathe. But there was a worry that we might run out of metal back here on earth ...)
It's soon to be a Disney film from the director of Frozen, apparently - which is interesting because the jury was out in the bookgroup about whether it would make a good movie. Time will tell!
9 out of 10 read it all the way through, 6 out of 10 smiley faces.

"It came to me as an interesting content" - Nathan

"It wasn't my favourite" - Victor

"My favourite part was when Meg almost got killed by the black thing" - Gareth

"My favourite part was when Meg was with Aunt Beast" - Ray

"I thought the book was good because it was very much fantasy and it was exciting and you don't know what happens until you read it" - Charlie
