There’s a lot to this, and while it reads comfortably as a kids book, I see how it’s lived on.

Book club: mid-5/6
Explore descriptive language (especially of setting) and character design (power of character flaws)
Themes around love, acceptance and valuing difference
Big questions around time travel/physics, and the ethics of utopia (equal doesn’t mean alike)

Too christian for me. Basically thinly vailed cold war propaganda about good christian kids going on a scientific outer space adventure to fight evil communism. Writing is good but damn. Would not recommend reading it for the first time as an adult.

The first half of the book and the last moment in the book between meg and charles wallace are divine. The relationships developed between the children in the first half of the book were so special. Was not a fan of the references to christianity. The story also took a darker turn for what i expected from a children's book.
