A Wrinkle in Time
by Madeleine L'Engle
Meg's father vanished while working on a way to fold space. Three strange women arrive to take her and her brother across the universe to find him.
A story about children and magical creatures, adventurous and epic in tone. We would put it with children of 10–13, and at a reading age of about 11 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
