Book Review- Chapter book, Award Winner

Chapter book for nine to twelve-year-olds, depending on their reading level. "A Wrinkle in Time," by Madeleine L'engle. A Newbery Medal winner.

Girls, as well as boys, should like this book. The book is literally about a wrinkle in time. Two children look for their father, a scientist, who has mysterious disappeared while working on tesseract, a wrinkle in time, for the government. My brothers bought me this book as a child and I enjoyed it. However, I had a friend at school who didn't understand what all the hullabaloo was about this book. She didn't care it won an award. Though I recommend this book for children, not every book, as distinguished as it may be, is for every child. A child who likes bug books and adventure stories might be bored out of their mind with a book about how cars were invented. Each to their own. There is a book for everyone.
