They are not alone in their quest. Charles Wallace's sister, Meg--grown and expecting her first child, but still able to enter her brother's thoughts and emotions by "kything"--goes with him in spirit. But in overcoming the challenges, Charles Wallace must face the ultimate test of his faith and will, as he is sent within four people from another time, there to search for a way to avert the tragedy threatening them all.

The story was amazing as all of the previous stories have been.Having it narrated by the author was such a special treat. I listened to it with the little boy I care for. He seems to enjoy the story and picked for the ride home everytime.

So timely

This, the third book in the Wrinkle in Time series, delves deeply into the ancient sorrow of evil and human struggles for power.

Narration by the author

I liked this narration before all the more commercial ones. Sometimes you never know if it will work. And of course I have always loved the book.
