"A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle

Really wanted to like this one a lot but I gotta say I was underwhelmed. Thought it interesting but the religious influence was too prevalent for me which is ironic because I loved the Chronicles of Narnia. Another thing is that unfortunately, this is definitely dated. There were several places in the story where I found myself thinking that modern children wouldn't understand the wording being used. Having said all this, I think the book is definitely worth mentioning to children looking for sci fi titles.
