A Wrinkle in Time (The Time Quartet) by Madeleine L’Engle takes readers on an unforgettable journey through time and space. In a stormy night, Meg Murray, her brother Charles Wallace, and their mother encounter an otherworldly visitor who introduces them to the concept of a “tesseract,” a wrinkle in time that allows for interdimensional travel. The narrative unfolds as Meg’s father, a scientist working on time-travel experiments, mysteriously vanishes. Along with her brother and a friend named Calvin, Meg embarks on a perilous quest to rescue her father from the forces of evil. This special edition includes a new essay that delves into the scientific principles underlying the fantastical elements of the story, offering both newcomers and longtime fans fresh insights.
