A Wrinkle in Time

Many people are fascinated by the recent trend of alternative time lines or alternative societies. Well, Madeleine L'Engle published her series, starting with A Wrinkle in Time (AR level 4.7), for youth in the 1960's and is what I call a classic for sci-fi/fantasy. Three children are in search of their scientific father and discover that he is trapped in a parallel time. The additional books in this series are A Wind in the Door (AR level 5.0) and A Swiftly Tilting Planet(AR level 5.2). While targeting upper elementary, this may be a good read aloud for younger elementary if the concept is of interest.
