The next on the list of science fiction books for kids is A Wrinkle in Time.

A Wrinkle in Time is the story of Meg Murry, a high-school-aged girl who is transported on an adventure through time and space with her younger brother Charles Wallace and her friend Calvin O’Keefe to rescue her father, a gifted scientist, from the evil forces that hold him prisoner on another planet. At the beginning of the book, Meg is a homely, awkward, but loving girl, troubled by personal insecurities and her concern for her father, who has been missing for over a year.

The plot begins with the arrival of Mrs. Whatsit at the Murry house on a dark and stormy evening. Although she looks like an eccentric tramp, she is actually a celestial creature with the ability to read Meg’s thoughts. She startles Meg’s mother by reassuring her of the existence of a tesseract–a sort of “wrinkle” in space and time. It is through this wrinkle that Meg and her companions will travel through the fifth dimension in search of Mr. Murry.

The story follows Zelia as she is forced to flee off-world after her mum’s research team sets off an awakening of Necrons. As she flees the planet she is joined by her mum’s assistant Mekki and youth from Mars, and Talen, a street rough and ready Juve who helps them escape the planet. Into this mix throw in some Space Marines, Necrons, and the tech-savvy Fleapit.

The story moves fast, which is unsurprising considering it’s a kid’s book. It is also extremely easy to read and at 200 pages with drawings, it all goes by quickly.

The book is short, and the characters deserved more development, but it’s a kids’ book, so it doesn’t need that. But the action is exciting, the characters unique, and overall a fun little read.

The bot is worried when he powers on and finds his friend powered off. He takes Boy home with him and tries all his remedies: oil, reading an instruction manual.

Nothing revives the malfunctioning Boy! Can the Inventor help fix him? Using the perfect blend of sweetness and humor, this story of an adorable duo will win the hearts of the very youngest readers.

Charlie’s grandparents (except Grandpa Joe, who had already gotten out of bed) are nervous about going inside the traveling elevator, and after twenty years in bed, refuse to get up. The bed is thus pushed into the elevator, which then takes off.

At a critical moment during the return trip to the factory, a panicking Josephine grabs Wonka away from the controls, which results in the elevator, along with its occupants, being sent into an Earth orbit.

The elevator circles the planet until Wonka sees the chance to link it with the newly-launched Space Hotel, a creation of the United States government.

Rocketing through the cosmos attracts the attention of the Plague, a race of gigantic bugs. The thing on Finn’s chest belongs to them–it’s the most dangerous weapon in the universe–and they want it back.

To fight the Plague, Finn will need the lunchbox, as well as an unlikely squad of assistants: Lincoln, the bully; Julep, the coolest girl in school; Kate, Finn’s unicorn-obsessed little sister; and Highbeam, a robot spy from another galaxy.

On their mission, they take a hen for the Basidium-sites to raise, for the sulphur from its eggs.

However, his life is about to get a whole lot more bizarre. Who are the Aeternum? Why have they taken his father? And how can Diego prevent further catastrophe?

Zita the Spacegirl is a fun, captivating tale of friendship and redemption from Flight veteran Ben Hatke. It also has more whimsical, eye-catching, Miyazaki-esque monsters than you can shake a stick at.
