A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

This one is for Vanessa and Heidi!! In this episode, we journey through the cosmic pages of A Wrinkle in Time, where a brilliant but awkward teen named Meg Murry teams up with her younger brother Charles Wallace and new friend Calvin O'Keefe to search for their missing father across space and time. With the help of some eccentric celestial beings—Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Who—they discover the wonders of the tesseract, a wrinkle in time that lets them leap across the universe. As they travel to strange planets, including a chilling world of forced conformity and the peaceful cave of the Happy Medium, they face the deep battle between good and evil. Along the way, they’re given gifts -- not just of magic or power, but of wisdom, courage, and love. It's a tale of warm family bonds, unlikely friendships, and learning that sometimes the greatest strength comes from being exactly who you are.
