A Wrinkle in Time has not only an interesting storyline but it's really easy to follow, too. The characters are easy to relate to because of the normality of their lives. I also loved the vocabulary because it was easy to understand, but it made me feel smart reading words like mitochondria. Also, this book is great for those of us who like to escape to fantsy worlds, which is what young yet avid readers are looking for..
