Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which had to do, for there was a gust of
wind, and they were gone, A Wrinkle in Time is an exciting
story.
In this book three children, Meg, Charles

Life, with its rules,
its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the
form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. - Mrs. Whatsit
It was really a very great honor for me to be chosen
for this mission. It's just because of my verbalizing and
materializing so well, you know. But of course we can't take any
credit for our talents. - Mrs. Whatsit
I do not know everything; still many things I understand. - Mrs. Who
The
characters wrestle with some tough concepts including loss,
nonconformity, and individuality. Confronted with one problem after
another, Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin must remain courageous.
