About this book

One of literature's most enduring young heroines, Meg Murry, is back -- braces, stubbornness and all. Once again, she's joining forces with Mrs Whatsit, Charles Wallace, Calvin O'Keefe and more to battle the forces of evil so she can rescue her father, save humanity and find herself. In the end, we know two things for sure: 1. Love CAN overcome evil and 2. There IS such a thing as a tesseract. Perfect for schools and touring groups, this one-act adaptation of the beloved novel masterfully retells the story in a fresh and enduring way.(A 35-minute one-act version and a full-length version of this play are also available.)
