A Wrinkle in Time (Time Series, #1) - Madeleine L'Engle

Re-reading for Virtual Speculation Book Club on booklikes.  Partly in anticipation of the movie.

 

Not sure I'll have much to say.  At one time, I could practically quote entire chapters.  

 

On first read of it, I loved it but was confused (took me a bit to figure out the time aspects and that by wrinkle they were talking about theories similar to folding space theoretical  FTL space travel -- although not nearly as confused as reading the sequels out of order made me).

 

 I remember being fascinated that a book with a female kid as main character still had adults present and M.C. wasn't only one with a brain nor super-speshul (I had just had a bad run of books supposedly geared to teenage girls that all seemed to have unbelievably powerful perfect chicks often with  parents who were cardboard, stupid, absent or overbearing -- many of them with the moral that you needed to be careful not to be too uppity speaking to males of any age, always let the boy win and hide your intelligence to keep them ).
