This book is very good children’s fiction. It is a little hard to get into at first, but once the story picks up it locks you in and is a very quick read. If you get bogged down in this book, I would suggest not giving up and pushing through. The story picks up after all the characters are introduced and the situation is explained. The ending would be my only complaint. Not all the issues are resolved at the end of the story. This is okay if the book leads you to believe that there will be a sequel, but A Wrinkle in Time does no such thing.
Overall this book is very good and highly recommended. I would suggest this book for readers of all ages. As Harry Potter has shown us, you do not have to be a child to enjoy children’s fiction. This book is safe for children.
