In the Harry Potter frenzy, I decided to re-read these. They are pretty darn good, but I was surprised at the amount of mysticism in them -- hadn't remembered that. Also, I'm not as gripped by them as I remembered being as a kid. But I think they definitely would still appeal to the under-ten set, and offer some good adventures along the way. One disappoint, though, is the whininess of the main girl -- she's not as level-headed as the boys in the story. From the back cover: Meg Murray, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mother are having a midnight snack on a dark and stormy night when an unearthly stranger appears at their door. He claims to have been blown off course, and goes on to tell them that there is such a thing as a "tesseract," which, if you didn't know, is a wrinkle in time. Meg's father had been experimenting with time-travel when he suddenly disappeared. Will Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin outwit the forces of evil as they search through space for their father? eryka.com scale: So good you just can't stand it. Almost that good. Sort of good. Generally a waste of time. Destined for the recycler. If you'd like to review this book, or another, click here Go home | Go to reviews home © 2002 eryka.com. All rights reserved.
