Charles Wallace is so cool! I like that he isn't depicted as a babyish little six-year old.

People have said that Charles Wallace's character is not believable, but first, he is meant to act older than his age (he's written that way on purpose), and second, six year olds are funny and cute lots of the time, but they don't act like babies. Kids know more than you think, even at young ages.

And I must say that this news of a possible new A Wrinkle in Time film pleases me very much. I'd love to see an excellent and very faithful adapation of L'Engle's beloved book.

Ditto!

I agree, he isn't suppose to be a "normal" kid. I've know very business like kindergarteners and elementary school students. Kids definitely know more than a lot of people think.

I've read a few of L'lengle's works. A Wrinkle in Time is my clear favorite, but I also read A Wind in the Door (which I don't remember at all), Dragons in the Water, and The Young Unicorns. I find L'lengle's writing style very unique and not entirely pleasant. I was also very confused that her characters seem to span over different series. I definitely did not read them in the right order. She certainly has a wonderful imagination. Of the three books that I've read and still remember, one is science fiction and takes place in another dimension, the other in the wilds of Venezuela, and the last in a suburban town (but it features a genie!).

First, I have to say that I absolutely love Madelin L'Engle's book A Wrinkle In Time. As a child, it was probably one of my most adored and beloved books. It's one of those books that I can't remember how many times I've read it, because I've read it so many times! And each time, it's just as good.

As for her other books, I'm kind of sad that none of them turned out as well as A Wrinkle In Time. I liked a couple of the sequels that followed the book, but none of them were as good in comparison with the first.

What's this talk of a new film of the book? I have not heard of this! But it's really exciting! Wasn't there some adaption a long time ago? I vaguely remember seeing trailers for it that didn't look so accurate...

I guess I should mention some of the other Madeline L'Engle books I've read. A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters (did not like this one AT ALL), Dragons In The Water. And two others, but I can't recall their names. One was about Polly, Meg's daughter, and another was about a girl named Violet and was really weird. But I can't remember the titles. I recall not liking either of them extremely much.

See below. It wasn't the best for accuracy. However, it wasn't nearly as bad as the adaption of A Ring of Endless Light.

A recent article on Cinema Blend says that A Wrinkle In Time will have a second chance in a new version. The full story can be read here.
