A Wrinkle in Time is about a 13 year old young girl named Meg who travels across space and time to save her father, who has mysteriously disappeared.

Connection to Essential Question: L'Engel portrays science as both useful for both good and evil. In Meg's time travels , both the utopian society of Uriel and the totalitarian society of Camazotz use remarkable technology. The difference lies in whether they use their technology out of love or the desire for power. As a result, the work provides a useful, balanced perspective on the Essential Questions: How is modern technology helpful and harmful to society?
