A Wrinkle in Time is a fantasy novel written by Madeleine L'Engle. In the story, Meg Murry, a high-school-aged girl, is transported on an adventure through time and space with her younger brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin O'Keefe to rescue her father, a gifted scientist, from the evil forces that hold him prisoner on another planet. From the story, Meg Murry learns the importance of love and the difference of good and evil.

The author uses many writing techniques. For example, the vocabulary is very interesting; the words the author uses is hard for the ordinary young teen. Also, the character development is very noticeable, since the reader can tell Meg Murry's transformation to a whole new person.

In conclusion, A Wrinkle in Time is a novel that can appeal to young teens and above for its vocabulary and character development. I strongly believe that readers will truly enjoy reading A Wrinkle in Time.
