In this companion volume to A Wrinkle In  Time (Newbery Award winner) and  A Wind In The Door fifteen-year-old  Charles Wallace and the unicorn Gaudior undertake a  perilous journey through time in a desperate  attempt to stop the destruction of the world by the  mad dictator Madog Branzillo. They are not alone in  their quest. Charles Wallace's sister, Meg—grown  and expecting her first child, but still able to  enter her brother's thoughts and emotions by  "kything"—goes with him in  spirit.
But in overcoming the challenges, Charles  Wallace must face the ultimate test of his faith and  will, as he is sent within four people from  another time, there to search for a way to avert the  tragedy threatening them all.
"L'Engle's  gifts are at their most impressive here." —  Publisher's Weekly

      This production of Madeleine L'Engle's classic is straightforward; there are no extraneous elements of performance, or production, marring the poetic imagery in L'Engle's blend of science and fantasy. Jennifer Ehle's narration is not unlike L'Engle's own voice and reading style. With a clear tenor and unadorned cadence she reads with unassuming authority, subtly shifting the intensity of delivery with each scene. Ehle's steady pace is at once relaxed and urgent as Charles Wallace rides a unicorn through time in an attempt to prevent nuclear annihilation. His sister, Meg, assists him through a mental connection as they piece together the lineage of hate that's pitted human against human since time immemorial. A.M.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
