Meg worries about school and fitting in. She also worries about her father, who has been gone for almost a year. One stormy night, the strangely dressed Mrs. Whatsit blows into the Murry family's kitchen. During her visit she informs them that "..there is such a thing as a tesseract". Meg and Charles learn that Mr. Murry was working on tesseracts when he disappeared. After meeting Mrs. Whatsit's friends, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, Meg and Charles join the trio of strange ladies and a boy named Calvin on a quest to find Meg's missing father. Read and learn about tesseracts, the "Black Thing", "IT", and other out-of-this- world phenomenon in this exciting, adventure story.
