Plot Summary

Thirteen-year-old Meg Murry struggles to adjust at school due to bullying and depression, four years after the disappearance of her father, Alex, who was a renowned astrophysicist. Meg discovers her gifted younger brother, Charles Wallace, with an unusual visitor, Mrs. Whatsit, who claims that the tesseract — a method of space travel Alex was studying — is real. Meg and Charles Wallace meet Calvin O’Keefe, who joins them at the house of Mrs. Who, another strange friend of Charles Wallace: she speaks only in quotations. Calvin has dinner with the Murry’s, and Mrs. Murry recalls Alex’s commitment to their research despite public ridicule. In the backyard, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs.

Who appear with Mrs. Which, revealing themselves as astral travelers. Explaining that they have come to help find Alex, the three Misses lead Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace through a tesseract to the distant planet Uriel. The planet’s sentient flowers confirm that Alex visited Uriel. Mrs. Whatsit transforms into a leaf-like flying creature, and carries the children into the sky.

They tesser to the planet Orion to seek the help of a seer named Happy Medium.

Which reveals that the IT spreads negativity throughout the universe, including on Earth. Happy Medium helps Meg overcome her self-doubt, and they learn that her father tessered to Uriel, then Ixchel, but was trapped on Camazotz. The Misses insist they regroup on Earth, but Meg’s determination to save her father overrides the tesseract, unintentionally redirecting them to Camazotz. Unable to stay, the Misses bestow gifts before departing: Mrs. Who gives Meg her glasses to see what is really there, Mrs. Whatsit gives Meg the knowledge of her faults, and Mrs. Which gives the children the command to never separate.
