Jim's Review
🐛
Jim read this one as a tiny larva and it blew his little worm mind wide open. L'Engle mixes science, philosophy, and adventure into something that feels like pure magic. Meg is the hero every awkward kid needs — flawed, fierce, and full of love. The tesseract scenes still give Jim chills. A timeless classic that proves the best kids' books are really for everyone. Five worms.
