A Wrinkle in Time / Madeleine L'Engle / 256 pp.

Three children (Meg, Charles and Calvin) are sent on a journey to find Meg and Charles' missing father. To do this they travel through space and time, eventually traveling to Camazotoz where conformity is key. Upon arriving, they look down a street where all of the children are playing in identical front yards – the girls skipping rope in rhythm, and the boys bouncing balls in perfect synchronization. This is a very unique book with complex sub-themes and multiple side-stops to planets with angelic beings who quote Shakespeare and scripture.
