A Wrinkle in Time 

A young girl comes of age on an adventure to rescue her father from fantastical forces of evil. 

I found this insufferable. It takes itself so seriously but offers so little to enjoy. A lot of the fantasy felt like tennis without a net. The whole book felt like a cargo cult version of what it attempted to be. 

My 6yo and 4yo enjoyed it, though. 

Not recommended for anyone. 

In before “hey, I loved this as a kid!” Yes. You also loved chicken McNuggets and Kangaroo Jack. I’ll only accept gripes from people who have read it in the last five years.

I thought I hated reading until I read this book (5th grade maybe?)

Mine was Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. Think I did a report on it from elementary through middle school lol
