There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murray but the safety of the whole universe.

Editor's Take
A Wrinkle in Time has overwhelmingly positive reader feedback overall. Amazon reviewers describe it as easy to read, engaging, imaginative, and meaningful, with many calling it a long-time favorite for both younger readers and adults. Some reviewers also praise the memorable characters and the novel’s moral and emotional depth.
There are a few recurring criticisms in the Amazon reviews: some readers say the science-fiction elements can feel confusing, and a few mention buying it for school reading assignments rather than personal enjoyment. Still, the dominant sentiment is that it is a classic, creative fantasy with broad appeal.
Search results also surfaced YouTube videos about the book itself, including a book review and an audiobook preview, which suggests continued interest in the novel rather than only the film adaptation.
