I believe Mrs L'Engle was prescient in making IT the primary villain of this story. I did not like the main character of Meg. Charles Wallace is wiser and more intelligent than any 4-5 year old that has ever existed. The story has that general 60s/70s New Agey vibe that I'm not a great fan of - Heinlein, Zelazny, Farmer, and the like. Many people think that's great company to be in, but... meh. I wish I had read this book in middle school, as all three of my sons did. Even though it was published when I was 7, I never heard of it until it was assigned to my sons. Instead, I am first reading this whimsical, but never silly, gem in my late 60s! Excellent story wrapped around concepts of nonconformity, individuality, courage, friendship, communication, and love. Great book for any kid who feels lonely or is dealing with loss in his or her life.

Even while repeating Meg's angst, it propels the mystery to its surprise ending. ( )
