This classic children's book is still one of my favorites. Meg Murry always struck a chord with me. She is an outcast who struggles to find her place in the world. Her interplanetary journey teaches her that love always triumphs over evil. What I love most about this book is how Meg shows us that intelligence and her emotionality are both strengths. What an important lesson for all of us to learn!

Our bookclub decided to read a classic! With all the hype about the new movie coming out it seems like perfect timing to pick this up again. Maybe you read this in grade school and don't remember it and maybe you never read it. It's time!!

There they discover a dark force that threatens not only Mr. Murray but the safety of the whole universe.
