My rating: 3 out of 5

This is a book that I remember reading as a child, but as I read it now, it does not seem as exciting as it once was. The story focuses on three children on a cosmic quest to rescue their father from IT. One thing that surprised me is that, unlike most science-fiction/fantasy stories, this book contains references to God and Christianity. I thought this was an interesting thing for the author to include, even though the story does not revolve around those ideas.

My only hesitation in recommending this book to young readers is the pacing of the story. To me, it felt like the story was either moving too slowly or too fast. Because of this, it oftentimes felt like a chore to finish the book.

All in all, "A Wrinkle In Time" is just an OK book that has trouble finding an adequate pace, but still has a decent story.
