A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle-247 pages

I enjoyed reading the graphic novel adaptation of this last year, so I wanted to read the original novel. I enjoyed the original, also. I like the lesson/moral to this story, which is that we should embrace each other's differences and try to understand each other. Living in a world where everyone is the same is not fun or right. It is also not the same as a world where everyone is equal. We are all equal here on Earth (at least, that's how it "should" be), but we are not all the same. We come from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds, and no one is exactly the same as another in looks and mindset. This is a great lesson to teach kids. The other main theme is love. We should love one another. If we do love each other, then we will embrace each other's differences and equality. Overall, this was a fun, thought-provoking, good read.
