A Wrinkle In Time was written by Madeleine L'Engle between 1959 and 1960. The book was rejected by 26 publishers before being accepted, ironically going on to win numerous awards including the Newbery Medal, Sequoyah Book Award, and Lewis Carroll Shelf Award. It has since become a children's classic with over 8 million copies in print and more than 15,000 sold each year still.

Details
A Wrinkle in Time is a combination coming-of-age and science fiction story. It centers around Meg Murray, a shy and awkward teenager; her younger brother, Charles Wallace, a five-year-old super genius who provides many insights during the book; and Calvin O'Keefe, the older neighbour boy who joins them on their adventures.
The story is a classic good-versus-evil tale, although the battles don't center around swords and fighting but rather mind manipulation and being strong in the face of evil. L'Engle's unique take on the science-fiction world combined theology, strength of character and the folding of space-time, creating an intensely loved novel by people the world over. Peppered with characters like Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which, transcendental beings who help the kid on their journey, the story lends itself to many different types of readers.
