Thirtreen year old Meg Murry is a very "awkward", unpopular and defensive girl. She thinks she is a very unattractive girl,with mouse brown hair, braces and glasses, and thinks of herself a monster compared to her mother.

Her brother,Charles Wallace,a five year old child prodigy genius, is known by others as a foolish and mute boy, as he has never spoken until he was four. He is very knowledgeable, but also very vulnerable. At times, he can read his sister's mind.

Finally, Calvin O'Keefe, whose mother is a cranky and tired old woman, having too many children. Neglected by his own family, he happily enters the Murry family.

And together, they try to find Meg and Charles Wallace's father, who has disappeared without reason. With the help of Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit, they wrinkle through time, and travel to extraordinary places they have never been to, and encounter villains that they will fear, and friends they will never forget.

And it all began on a dark and stromy night.

Meg learns that you have to believe in yourself, and that sometimes she has to be patient with others. She also learns that a lot of people care about her, no matter how she looks like.5
