Overview: One dark and stormy night, an exraordinary visitor with weird clothes visted the Murry's house in the middle of the night and beckons Megarette Murry, her younger brother- Charles Wallace Murry and their friend that they met by accident- Calvin O'Keefe on to a most dangerous, undescribable and supernatural journey or adventure which will truly threaten their lives. They also found out that they were not only on a quest to save their father, but also our dear planet- Earth.

Comments: In this excellent and breath-taking book that leads us into an utterly extraordinary adventure, the author- Madeleine L'Engle precisely described every movement and sction of the characters with great tension, suspence and the use of interesting vocabularies and quotes are just simply amazing! I truly likes this book because it is not only an ordinary fiction book, but also it tells about some of the science and I also learned a lot of new vocabularies and phrases from this book. I also likes the characters in this book very much because they are all tender-hearted and I especially likes Charles Wallace because he has the heart of a child but a wise mind of an adult, the only thing I don't like about him is that he is sometimes too confident and a little arrogant too! I think Meg is okay but I really think that she gets angry too often. This is certainly a very interesting and great read from Madeleine L'Engle's classic Time Quintet. I truthfully recommend this time-travelling adventure story to you all!
