Wrinkle In Time

Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle is number 23 on the 100 Most Challenged Books list.

This book is a science fantasy.  The story is about a family that loves each other and looks out for each other.  It is also about good versus evil.  I had listened to this book on tape many years ago and didn’t really enjoy it then.  I read the book this time and really enjoyed it.    Mrs. L’ Engle did a fantastic job, describing the feelings of not quite fitting in, of not feeling like you really belong and focusing on your personal faults.  I like how in the story, the author took Meg's faults and used them as an asset.  I can’t wait to have some free time and finish the series.  I am not sure why this book is challenged except for several references to the New Testament, but these references are not quoted word for word and if you are unfamiliar with the Bible you would not realize where the quotations specifically came from.
