A Wrinkle in Time




Rebel Voices: Disruptive Stories from Trailblazing Women - a new Puffin Classics collection, to celebrate International Women's Day 2023

To love is to be vulnerable; and it is only in vulnerability and risk - not safety and security - that we overcome darkness.
The mysterious disappearance of Meg and Charles Murry's father seems unsolvable, until a chance encounter leads them to realise that they may find answers in the hands of their eccentric neighbours Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which.

With the help of Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which, Charles and Meg and their friend Calvin embark on a fantastical journey through a 'wrinkle in time' to find their father. The group encounter weird and wonderful beings such as Aunt Beast and the Happy Medium, but they are put to the test when they find themselves on a dark planet controlled by a mysterious all-powerful evil. Will they find their father and get back to Earth?
