The Novel
Description
A Wrinkle in Time is a young adult novel written by American author Madeleine L’Engle. First published in 1962, the book has won the Newbery Medal, the Sequoyah Book Award, the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, and was runner-up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
A Wrinkle in Time is one of the great works of literature for kids. Besides being an exciting story, its messages of individuality, nonconformity, friendship and courage have inspired generations of readers.
The theme in A Wrinkle in Time is a battle of Good vs Evil for control of the universe. Meg, Charles Wallace, Calvin and other “ordinary” humans represent the the good, while disembodied entities referred to as “Thing” or “IT” represents the evil. The story unfolds with the characters trying to conquer the evil.
Even if you’re kind to someone and you don’t receive any kindness in return, continue to be nice to people because it’s the right thing to do. A Wrinkle In Time shows people that it only takes a little bit of kindness to erase years of hurt and hatred

The Movie
Description
A Wrinkle in Time is a book that countless people have loved in the decades since its publication. As such, there are certainly many who are excited that the novel is now a theatrical film for the first time ever. Of course, no previously existing material makes the jump from page to screen entirely intact.
There are several interesting changes that have been made to the source material for Disney’s new movie. Some are small, some not so much.
