But before she knew it, Meg was face to face with an Echthro and discovered they were the most sinister creatures on Earth, are they able to stop them getting Charles Wallace or would they turn to a part of Echthroi themselves???
Comments: I think this book is just simply terrific! It is a science fiction book but the sentences are written beautifully and the grammar was great! The author describes scenes very well and she lets me able to clearly imagine every part of the story and every move of the characters. And they were all so dramatically written! I especially loved it when she knew the word mitochondria and farandolae at the year 1973 when a lot of people don't even know what it is now (like me, but you probably know!)! It is just utterly ridiculously excellent! I likes Meg more in the second book than in the first book because she thinks more possitively than in the first book! I really LOVED the ending when everyone is safe, including Charles Wallace and it is all back to normal. I just simply cannot wait to read Madeleine L'Engle's third book which is called "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" and find out what Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace's adventure is next!
