I Don't Know If There Is Such a Thing as a Tesseract, But I'm Glad There's A Wrinkle in Time

Archetype for the angry, awkward, mixed up teen girl hero

By Sonia Heidi UnruhPublished 10 months ago 1 min read
There are many versions of the book cover -- this one brings back memories (1973).

Tempestuous Meg, her genius little brother, and lonely neighbor Calvin adventure through dimensions to find Meg's long-missing father, aided by three mysterious ... angels? Fighting to resist It (a giant, pulsing, fascist brain), Meg must embrace her feisty imperfections to restore her beloved, brainwashed brother. Timeless lesson: love overcomes darkness.

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.
