Dear Dana,
This week I read a book called A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'engle. So far, it's a very interesting and mysterious book. The name of the book sounds boring, but if you actually read it, it's a very entertaining story.
The characters in the book are Meg Murry, Charles Wallace, Mrs. Murry, Mr. Murry, Sandy, Denny, Fortinbras, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Whatsit friends that live with her, Mrs. Buncombe, and Calvin.
The setting takes place in the Murry's House and at the woods where Mrs. Whatsit and her friends live. The climate is stormy and windy.
The plot of the book is about a girl named Meg Murry and one night, she heard the scary storm outside and got frightened. She went downstairs and saw her little brother, Charles Wallace in the kitchen. They sat down and they discussed how Mrs. Buncombe's sheets were stolen. Their mother heard them from upstairs and came down to them. She talked to them about it too and Charles Wallace said that he thinks Mrs. Whatsit did it. Then, a split second, someone was outside the door, and it was Mrs. Whatsit.
They welcomed the old lady to their home and she admitted to them that she stole Mrs. Buncombe's sheets. She said that she needed those sheets, but the Murry's didn't say anything to the women about that subject. Then, Mrs Whatsit spoke to the Murry's about a tesseract and left to her own home. Mrs. Murry was shocked, and didn't understand how she have known about the tesseract.
The following day, Charles Wallace and Meg Murry went to the woods with their dog, Fortinbras and saw a haunted house. The kids and the animal went inside the hut and saw a woman sitting down on the couch. It was one of Mrs. Whatsit's friend and then when she saw the children, she kicked them out of the house and told them not to be around here. The kids did what was told of them and went out of there.
Then, Meg and Charles saw a kid and started to talk to him. His name was Calvin. He was 14 years old and they got to know him a little. Calvin went to the Murry's house and stayed there for a little. Meg and Calvin really liked each other and he asked her a lot of questions about her dad who disappeared while working for a secret work in the government for the tesseract. The kids decided to look for their dad.
The conflict of the book is that Meg's father disappeared while working in the tesseract and they used to write him letters and he wrote them back, but that had stopped since he didn't write back to them.
The conflict resolution is that the kids are going to search for their dad and try to find him and bring him back home.
My favorite part of the book is that the kids had the smart thought to bring their dad back home from where ever he was since they hadn't heard from him ever since he gone to work and never came back.
My least favorite part is that the dad got kidnapped and never got back home. I disliked that part because I would be so sad if one day my dad went to work and then disappeared. I hope the kids will bring back their dad and have a happy family again!
Some opinions I have for this book is that it's very mysterious and interesting to read because there's a lot of journeys going on and I can actually travel through it vicariously! I definately recommend this book to you Dana and everyone else who like those types of books!
Well Dana that concludes my summary about the book A Wrinkle In Time. I hope you got a well understanding of what the book is about and thinking about reading it. I love you Dana!!<3
Love,
