Not going to rate as this book is written for children and is quite dated as well - but I enjoyed it. It's not my favorite middle grade, and it has quite a religious bent, but it is still beautifully written and I identified with Meg so much! Impatient and awkward and smart but unable to just do what she is told. Argumentative and disobedient.
I believe IT is supposed to signify communism, but it feels oddly appropriate as "IT", or information technology, during our current AI conversation.
