The Platonic ideal of a mixed bag is "A Wrinkle in Time." It's unlike any science fiction story I've ever read. It's fascinating, scientific, and a touch romantic like any other science fiction novel, but it's also really earnest at times, especially when dealing with loss and disappointment. Other themes explored in the novel include how great devotion can help us overcome the darkness within and around us. Much of the sentimental relationship has been witnessed between the daughter and father, having emotional vulnerability without being melodramatic in its multicultural character, its child-centric plot, and its emphasis on the legitimacy of feelings. It's one of those books that every time you read it, you learn something new. I've never read a book with such inventiveness. Madeleine L'Engle keeps things intriguing and unusual while also incorporating internal conflicts. Everyone can empathize with Meg's struggles and learn from them by reading this book. "A Wrinkle In Time" is about three children and three magical beings attempting to locate the children's father, a scientist trapped in time, as well as preventing the monster of time from overtaking the universe. Meg Murray, her six-year-old adopted brother, Charles Wallace, and their scientist mother, Kate, are in sorrow over the loss of Alex Murray, the family patriarch. His unexpected disappearance perplexed his family, but it turned out to be related to his study of tesseracts with his wife, Kate, a phenomenon that permits space and time to fold. It follows Margaret (Meg) Murray as she searches for her missing father while also searching for answers about herself. She wants to locate her father above all else, since he was the one who made her feel like herself, and now that he's gone, she's lost. Meg's brilliant younger brother, Charles Wallace, is a key figure in her quest for self-discovery and, in the end, is what will set off the one thing she has left: the darkness. The three magical entities, the goofy Mrs. What, the regal Mrs. Which, and the wise Mrs. Who, are first seen by young Charles Wallace, a genius who, at times, endures a horrifying shift with the thundercloud eyes. Mrs. What has just arrived at the family's home, and the mother is the only one who is surprised. Mrs. Which, a 40-foot tall shimmering ghost hovering over a backyard on her initial appearance, looked more intrigued than terrified at the youngsters, as though this sort of thing occurred all the time. The children leave their planet to find their father with the assistance of these three mystical entities. Meg invites her friend Calvin O'Keefe to accompany her on her time-space voyage, and he happily accepts, just as if she had asked him to accompany her on a visit to the local market.
