Blurb: “Charles Wallace's knuckles whitened as he clutched the heavy mane. The unicorn began to run, skimming over the tops of the grasses, up, over the bills, flinging bimself onto the wind and riding with it, up, up, over the stars...
In this companion volume to A Wrinkle in Time (Newbery Medal, 1963) 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 younger brother's thoughts and emotions by
"kything"-goes with him in spirit. So does Mrs. O'Keefe, Meg's surly and unkempt mother-in-law, who provides Charles Wallace with a cryptic rune and who seems to have a fateful link to Branzillo.
Before he can solve the mystery of this link, 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 away to avert the tragedy threatening them all.
Once again, Madeleine L'Engle has written an absorbing and dramatic tale that combines suspense with awesome beauty.
