Pros: Charming characters, exciting plot, and imaginative settings.
Cons: Slow start and references to God and Christianity may not appeal to some readers.
The Bottom Line: L'Engle manages to introduce scientific, linguistic, philosophical, and ethical concepts in a wonderfully simple manner in this thoroughly enjoyable tale.
