Title:
A Wrinkle in Time: 1 (Wrinkle in Time Quintet, 1)
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 9781250153272
Overview:
Step into the opening book of Madeleine L’Engle’s Time Quintet with this movie tie-in paperback edition, crafted to spark a new generation’s sense of wonder. Meg Murry, her scientifically curious brother Charles Wallace, and their celestial guides—Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which—embark on a voyage across space and time to rescue their father and confront darkness with courage, curiosity, and love. This edition features an introduction by Ava DuVernay, the director behind the forthcoming film, offering fresh context for today’s readers, and eight pages of exclusive film photography that deepen the connection between the page and the screen. The complete, unabridged text remains intact, preserving L’Engle’s signature blend of science, fantasy, and heart. With Common Core connections visible in the narrative threads, it’s ideal for classroom discussions on character, theme, and scientific ideas, while remaining a thrilling bedtime or family-reading adventure. A Wrinkle in Time is a timeless bridge between generations, inviting readers to ponder time, gravity, and the enduring power of love to illuminate the darkest moments.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
This edition stands apart by marrying L’Engle’s enduring, unabridged storytelling with a contemporary tie-in package that respects the original voice while speaking to today’s readers. Ava DuVernay’s introductory note situates Meg’s journey within current conversations about bravery, belonging, and self-discovery, making the book feel relevant to new generations. The eight pages of official film photography serve as tactile conversation starters, inviting readers to notice how on-screen imagery echoes key moments on the page and sparking book-club and classroom discussions. Crucially, the text remains unabridged, preserving the cadence, wit, and philosophical curiosity that have made this novel a cornerstone of children’s literature since 1962. This is a bridge edition that invites rereads and deeper contemplation, not a simplified retelling.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Ideal for children aged roughly 8–12 who delight in science fantasy and adventurous quests, as well as families seeking a shared, high-spirited read. It’s equally well-suited for curious tweens exploring big ideas—time travel, multiple dimensions, and moral courage—and for teachers aiming to weave a canonical work into cross-curricular discussions. Movie fans curious about how the book translates to screen will find the tie-in edition especially appealing, while collectors will treasure the edition’s film tie-in content and the Time Quintet’s enduring legacy. Whether gifting for a birthday, a classroom library, or a BookTok moment, this paperback invites readers to step into a world where science, imagination, and love light the way.

The eight-page film photography spread invites reflective viewing, while the unabridged narrative ensures fans experience every twist, every clever scientific implication, and every moment of heart-opening resolve. It’s a standalone treasure that also serves as a gateway to the entire Time Quintet, making it an ideal first step into a collectible, binge-reading journey.
