Author style: "tastes like sand" simile Art Media: novel 1 mvanemmerik | Nov 11, 2009 | THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVERY READ!!!!!! (  )1 lylekatie | Nov 5, 2009 | This book is a wonderful example of a science fiction novel because it is futuristic and deals directly with science related topics: time travel. It also involves alien-like creatures, different planets, witches, and non-human powerful beings. It deals directly with the impact of science on society and depicts what our world would be like if there was a such thing as time travel. It challenges the reader to imagine what a two-dimensional and one-dimensional world would be like and it also challenges the reader to imagine what life would be like if everything in our world was systematic, nobody was different, nothing was ever out of place. Characters: Meg is a perfect example of the main character. She is very imperfect so all readers can relate to her. She is self conscious and frustrated and young readers will be able to identify with her sense of insecurity. 1 bwetmore05 | Nov 2, 2009 | This is the story of Meg Murry, a high school girl, and the adventure she taks through time to find her scientist father and save him.

| Book description |
|
A well-loved classic and 1963 Newbery Medal winner, Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time is sophisticated in concept yet warm in tone, with mystery and love coursing through its pages. Meg's shattering, yet ultimately freeing, discovery that her father is not omnipotent provides a satisfying coming-of-age element. Readers will feel a sense of power as they travel with these three children, challenging concepts of time, space, and the triumph of good over evil. The companion books in the Time quartet, continuing the adventures of the Murry family, are A Wind in the Door; A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which won the American Book Award; and Many Waters. Every young reader should experience L'Engle's captivating, occasionally life-changing contributions to children's literature. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

CHARACTER: Meg is a great example of a protagonist, because she is the main character and a round character. There are many dimensions to her personality and by the end of the story, readers see her change. She starts out being a girl with little confidence and a daughter living in her parents great shadows. By the end though, Meg is able to rescue her brother, because of her own amazing traits and is reassured in her own value as a person.
