A Wrinkle in Time
By: Madeleine L’Engle
Modern Fantasy and Science Fiction
Meg Murray, her brother Charles Wallace, and her friend Calvin O’Keefe go on a journey to try and find Meg and Charles’s dad when they discover that tesseracts, a wrinkle in time, exist. They are assisted by three women, known as the three Mrs. W’s. They learn that the universe is being threatened by the Dark Thing, and the planet where their father is being held is under control of the Dark Thing, and a giant living brain known as IT. Despite the fact that Charles becomes under the influence of IT’s mind control, Meg manages to save her father and then returns to save Charles, making him snap back into his state of mind by showing him love, the one weapon that IT did not possess.
After reading the book to them I would have them think about what it would be like to have to conform to IT, such as the people on the planet Camazotz had to. I would ask them to write about how they would feel if they had to completely conform to someone and something, and what they would miss being able to do. After that I would have them share with a group what they wrote about and how they would feel.
