About this listen

Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, now a major motion picture. This audiobook includes an introduction read by the film director Ava DuVernay, a foreword read by the author, and an afterword read by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis.

Meg Murray, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mother are having a midnight snack on a dark and stormy night when an unearthly stranger appears at their door. He claims to have been blown off course, and goes on to tell them that there is such a thing as a “tesseract”, which, if you didn’t know, is a wrinkle in time. Meg’s father had been experimenting with time-travel when he suddenly disappeared. Will Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin outwit the forces of evil as they search through space for their father?

In 1962, Madeleine L’Engle debuted her novel A Wrinkle in Time, which would go on to win the 1963 Newbery Medal. Bridging science and fantasy, darkness and light, fear and friendship, the story became a classic of children’s literature and is beloved around the world.

A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

I had high expectations set in part by the long prologue and by the existence of a movie. I thought this would be a sci-fi fantasy, not a religious allegory.

I’m not a big fan of this book, too pedantic for my taste.
I found the narrator annoying. The only reason I stuck with it is because my niece and I were reading it together and I needed a quick refresher.

Not a huge fan

Beautifully written story. Well read and engaging. It inspires and challenges through its symbolism and characters. Recommended for all ages. I will be reading it again with my children! I am very thankful that this book was written and published.

Here is a book that was written in the 60's (I read this in the late 70's), and thought that it would make a great movie series (which is now happening). It is one of those ageless books that one never tires of. The audible book brought me right back to when it read it 4 decades ago and I loved it every bit as much as I did then. The reading was very well done and would be a great listen for any long road trip with children (or for those adults who love this sort of thing). The story is very magical as well as having a science bent to it.
