Nonetheless, she is the protagonist of the novel and, in the final analysis, she is also the hero; female heroes were far less common in 1963 than they are in the 2000s, and Meg has fed many a young girl's hunger for "stories about me" in the intervening decades.

	''A Wrinkle in Time'' is perhaps one of the most famous and best-loved young adult fantasy novels of all time.

	''A Wrinkle in Time'' is the story of young [[Meg Murry]], unhappy in school because she's smart and quick and doesn't follow rules, unhappy at home because she's not as pretty as her mother or as easy to get along with as her younger twin brothers, Dennys and Sandy.
