Main Characters

Meg Murry - Meg Murry is the twelve-year-old heroine of the story. She does poorly in
school even though she is good at math and science. Meg can
be stubborn, impatient and angry, but these qualities come in
useful when she has to resist IT. During the course of the
novel, Meg learns that her individuality is an asset rather than
a liability, and she also learns that she must take responsibility
for saving Charles herself, rather than waiting around for
others to do it.

Charles Wallace Murry - Charles Wallace Murry is a precocious five-year-old boy, the
youngest son of the Murrys. Charles Wallace has a gift of
understanding things that fall outside of normal human
experience. It is he who first befriends the three ladies, and he
has an uncanny ability to know what others are thinking.
Charles has a little too much pride, however, and it is this that
makes him even more vulnerable on Camazotz than Calvin or
Meg. As a result, he is taken over by IT and only freed by Meg's
love.

Mr. Murry - Mr. Murry is a physicist with the Institute for Higher
Learning in Princeton, who was working for the government on a
top secret project when he disappeared. It turns out that he has been imprisoned on
Camazotz by IT.

Mrs. Murry - Mrs. Murry, like her husband, is a scientist. She

holds doctoral degrees in biology and bacteriology.

Calvin O'Keefe - Calvin O'Keefe is a tall and skinny

fourteen-year-old boy who meets Meg and Charles
Wallace on the way to the haunted house. In contrast to Meg, Calvin is
smart and very popular at school, being good at basketball and other
sports.

Mrs. Whatsit - Mrs. Whatsit is the first of the three old ladies that the Murry children
meet. She is dressed rather like tramp. Later, on the planet Uriel, Mrs. Whatsit takes on
another form, appearing as a beautiful creature with the lower parts resembling a horse
but a torso, arms and head like a man.

Mrs. Which - Mrs. Which is the last of the three ladies that the children meet. She never
fully materializes because it tires her too much to do so. Mrs. Which is in charge of
tessering, and it is she who tells Meg, that
Meg has something IT does not.

Mrs. Who - Mrs. Who is the second of the

three ladies that the children meet. She has a
habit of talking by using quotations from
famous writers because she finds it hard to
verbalize her own thoughts.

Setting – The setting is the universe; specifically, the planets. They spent majority of
their time on Earth, Uriel, the Happy Medium Planet, Camazotz, and Ixchel

he and Meg embrace. She and Charles have landed at home, in the twins' vegetable
garden. Mrs. Murry emerges from the house with the twins, and there is a joyful family
embrace.
 My Favorite

Charles Wallace would be my favorite character. He is intelligent and he can read

people’s minds. He has a gift of understanding things that fall outside of normal human
experience. My favorite part would be when Meg freed Charles. Meg used her love for
Charles to free him from IT. Meg showed her love for Charles. That’s how he was freed.
After that, they arrived back to their home. Their mom welcomed them. Their family was
complete.

What I Have Learned

I have to be kind to everyone. Even if you won’t get anything in return, you still have to
be kind. Share kindness. Face your fears. It taught me to fight and face my fear instead
of relaxing.

Recommendation

This book is really nice. It has many life lessons. I recommend people to read this book
because it is really nice. It is fit for either old or young because the story is family and
the story is very amusing.

My Book Rating

I would rate this book a 5 out of 5. This book is good. And it has many to teach. It is very
entertaining and amusing.
