Madeleine L'Engle's books are always a pleasure to read. While reading about fanciful creatures such as cherubim, Echthroi, and farandolae, there are certain little details in between the lines that one cannot help but notice and think upon. What I especially liked about this book was how it talked about loving and Naming others as well as kything. After parting with the cherubim Prognostickes, who had Named every star before, in a conversation with someone Meg was asked how many stars there were in the sky. She replied that she did not know and that, "The stars don't need to be counted. They need to be Named." |

This book was incredible. It acts as a beginning and an introduction to concepts from later books, but is also a great story in itself. Meg Murry is once again mixed into a quest involving transitions through time, space, size, and form. Charles Wallace is ill, and Meg learns from a cherub called Proginoskes that it is being caused by forces of evil. She must complete three tasks in order to save him from the Echthroi that are causing his sickness. Her friend Calvin ends up joining the group of Meg and Proginoskes, and they go to Charles Wallace's school to see his principal. There, they stumble upon the first task: Name the correct Mr. Jenkins(the principal) out of three, two of whom are Echthroi. She completes this task, only to shoot off on the next along with Proginoskes, Calvin, and Mr. Jenkins. They eventually end up in one of Charles Wallace's mitochondria, trying to rid it of the Echthroi. To find out if they succeed, read the book. This is a great novel, with lots of unexpected turns and twists, and anyone who likes fantasy, science fiction, or suspense will love this. |
