A Wrinkle in Time - Madeleine L'engle

I noticed this novel while browsing Chapters one night. I thought it sounded enlightening and vaguely remembered reading it as a child and liking it. Somehow I thought I would appreciate it even more now. I did.

A very simple story on how to overcome darkness and evil, with adventure along the way. Though written as a sci-fi, many of the themes are very real. Instead of using magic, as in Harry Potter, the medium the children work in is science - very basic - but science. I liked this, especially the time travel aspect. I loved Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which.

I may read it again soon, and eventually the other books in the series.
