Joel’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1)

A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1) by Madeleine L'Engle

8 highlights

On its surface this is a book about three children who fight an evil force threatening their planet. But it is really about a more primal battle all human beings face, to respect, defend, and love themselves.
