The main characters – Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O’Keefe – embark on a journey through space and time, from galaxy to galaxy, as they endeavor to rescue the Murrys’ father and fight back The Black Thing that has intruded into several worlds.
The novel offers a glimpse into the war between light and darkness, and good and evil, as the young characters mature into adolescents on their journey. The novel wrestles with questions of spirituality and purpose, as the characters are often thrown into conflicts of love, divinity, and goodness. It is the first book in L’Engle’s Time Quintet, which follows the Murry family and O’Keefe.
