ReviewsA Wrinkle in Time taught me that you can tackle even the deepest and most slippery concepts of physics and philosophy in fiction for young readers. It's a great lesson for all writers, and a tough tesseract to follow., " A Wrinkle in Time is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read it so often, I know it by heart.
