This trilogy is wonderfully imaginative and gives the reader a fairly tale as a young child, but a thought provoking, progressively unfolding story especially as we follow Meg and Charles through their problems.

Great childrens classic with some deep philosophical and spiritual messages. Would not hurt any adult to read or reread. It's currently being made into a movie. I'll be interested to see how it translates.

Classic children's science fiction series that does a good job exploring various science conception of space & time travel, while providing engaging characters & stories. L'Engle crafts a nice mix of characters, particularly Murray kids & their friends, who must endure being the children of brilliant parents, which comes in handy when something extraordinary happens to them. She also gives some nicely simplified explanations of some pretty far out science concepts, such as space
