Synopsis

Visit the world of A Wrinkle in Time in this new standalone story!

This standalone chapter book gives young listeners the perfect entry into the world of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, and lifelong fans of the Time Quintet will recognize characters and settings from A Wind in the Door, the second book in the beloved series. Thoughtful, adventurous, and unique, Intergalactic P.S. 3 is a stunning story of the power of love to span the universe.

Charles Wallace Murry is old enough to start school, but his sister, Meg, and their friend Calvin know he isn't cut out for school on Earth-Meg worries that he'll be more misunderstood than ever. Luckily, with the help of the three celestial creatures Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which, there is another place where Charles Wallace can get his education: Intergalactic P.S. 3, a public school in a completely different galaxy. The three children travel through time and space to reach the school, but for them all to make it home safely, Meg must undergo a test that will challenge her inner strength, her perspective, and her ability to protect the ones she loves.

This feels like a very early unpublished draft of A Wind in the Door, with nearly all of the same characters and plot threads (except Mer-boy - I really want to know more about him and what the author had planned for him!) Of course, A Wind in the Door is so much better, but it's interesting to see......more

Goodreads review by Renata on April 19, 2018

I'm not really sure who this is for? It seems like it would be confusing to a child who was too young to read the original Wrinkle in Time books.

This was a short story L’Engle wrote for an event. A significant amount of it was recycled from passages in the Time series. I am always delighted to see Meg and Calvin and Charles Wallace, but this was pretty underwhelming. If you aren’t familiar with the series, don’t start here!......more
