Annotation: This title is the first in a series by L'Engle surrounding the Murry and O'Keefe families. Meg Murry must save her father whose mysterious disappearance has answered no questions. Joined by the Calvin O'Keefe (who thinks quite a lot of himself) and her young brother, they travel through the tesseract--a folding of space and time.
 
Book talk: "It was a dark and stormy night" in which an unimaginable adventure began for the unsuspecting Meg Murry, her brother and schoolmate as they pass through A Wrinkle in Time.
