A Wrinkle in Time

Meg feels out of place EVERYWHERE! She has a definite need for a boost to her self-esteem. Because of this, Meg behaves in ways that even she hates...... she's giving people reasons to dislike and criticize her. None-the-less, Meg's search for her father gives her a purpose and gives her hope. She feels if she can just get back the one thing she lost (her dad), she can accomplish anything. Over time, Meg comes to understand that she has to take action and stop waiting around for everyone else to get things done. Her lack of assertion could mean the lives of her younger brother and father. Once Meg steps up to the plate, it's hard to keep her down.
