About this listen

Meg Murry can't help but be worried when her six-year-old brother, Charles Wallace, announces there are dragons in the vegetable garden. He's so bright, and so different from other kids, he's getting bullied at school, and he is also strangely, seriously ill.

But Charles Wallace is right about the dragons - actually a friendly entity who has come to help Charles Wallace fight his sickness, and to take Meg and her friend Calvin O'Keefe on a terrifying, wonderful journey into galactic space - where they must battle the force of evil to save Charles Wallace, and themselves.

Beautifully read and a wonderful imaginative story with creative descriptions. So many layers within the story too.

Loved it!

NOT recommended. As a huge fan of A Wrinkle in Time, I was excited to discover more books about Meg and Charles Wallace and the Twins. However, this book is just weird. The concept is weird, the characters are bizarre, the events are peculiar. It's like some type of off-centre, eccentric, drug induced, fantasy/dreamscape nonsense. Very dissatisfied and disappointed that this is where the author took the series (the third book, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, is no better). With Wrinkle, L'engle got the balance of adventure/bizarre just right, this book however took crazy a bit too far.

I ended up returning it for credit, and am now pretending Wrinkle is a one-hit wonder.

Weird. And not really in a good way.
