Book Descriptions
for A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle and Hope Larson
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Fifty years after the original publication of A Wrinkle in Time , Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless story of Meg Murry’s search for her missing father amid time and space is released for a new audience of readers in graphic novel format. This straightforward retelling hits all the high points of the original, while capturing fantastical elements such as Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, Mrs Which, and Aunt Beast, as well as the soulless rigidity of Camazotz, in Hope Larson’s clean, well-imagined art. Once again, with Calvin O’Keefe’s help, Meg Murry calls on her courage and love to save her father and Charles Wallace—as well as all of humanity—and reunite her family. (Ages 9–13)

The world already knows Meg and Charles Wallace Murry, Calvin O'Keefe, and the three Mrs--Who, Whatsit, and Which--the memorable and wonderful characters who fight off a dark force and save our universe in the Newbery award-winning classic A Wrinkle in Time. But in 50 years of publication, the book has never been illustrated. Now, Hope Larson takes the classic story to a new level with her vividly imagined interpretations of tessering and favorite characters like the Happy Medium and Aunt Beast. Perfect for old fans and winning over new ones, this graphic novel adaptation is a must-read.
