Madeleine L'Engle.
A Wrinkle in Time.
Puffin. 1962

(read but not reviewed)

Charles Wallace Murry goes searching through a ‘wrinkie in time’ for his lost father, and finds himself on an evil planet where all life is enslaved by a huge pulsating brain known as IT.

How Charles, his sister Meg and his friend Calvin find and free his father makes this a very special and exciting mixture of fantasy and science fiction, which all the way through is dominated by the funny and mysterious trio of guardian angels known as Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which.
