Destiny and Wrinkle in Time (Destiny)
The big takeaway from this thread to me is that you all come across like cultural buffoons. A Wrinkle in Time is one of the greatest young adult novels of all time, and you don't really need the "young adult" classification.
I'm actually kind of surprised that I didn't remember more about it, as it's always been in the back of my mind as SF of cultural significance. I skimmed through a few passages and it dredged up some memories, like them traveling to the 2-D world. I remember the books we read from had a weird looking cover with some sort of crazy looking mash-up animal.
My guess is that we read it in school (maybe 5th grade?) at a time when I was just starting to devour Michael Crichton, so it probably had a hard time competing with dinosaurs eating people.
