Meg Murry's dad returned to Earth from an ominous dark planet, but lately he has often been away from home for a long time: something wrong is happening in the Universe, stars are disappearing without a trace, and Mr. Murry, an outstanding scientist, is constantly called to the largest laboratories for consultations. Meanwhile, at home, Meg is also not in order: her brother Charles Wallace is suffering from a mysterious illness, and things are not going well for him at school. It would seem, what does the stars have to do with it? But Meg, Charles and their friend Calvin are about to discover that all these troubles have a common cause. To save Charles, Meg and Calvin will have to learn a lot and plunge into a wonderful world, for whose inhabitants people are like galaxies... This book (the second in the “Quintet of Time” series) is a continuation of the famous bestseller “A Wrinkle in Time”, filmed in 2018 Walt Disney Studios. For the first time in Russian!
