On one panel, YA authors Tina Connolly and Fonda Lee surprised
me by both expressing their admiration for A
Wrinkle in Time. This was part of a theme of stories in which children and
teens did not rebel against their
parents—surprise! Parents or parent-substitutes are supportive in some stories.
Sometimes a child has to rescue a parent. A
Wrinkle in Time shows both.
Moderator Lish McBride, with Tiny Connolly and Fonda Lee
When news of the movie came out, I decided to read A Wrinkle in Time. I couldn’t get
through it. Yes, I realized it’s a children’s story. I read Peter Pan as an adult, and reread 101 Dalmatians as an adult. But A Wrinkle in Time didn’t work for me.
I didn’t see the movie, for the reasons the critics gave it
a thumbs down for. But there’s this wonderful 90-second version. The movie cost
one hundred millions dollars. I would be surprised if this version cost more than
ten bucks.
