One day, Margaret was abandoned by aliens. when she was two months old on planet Earth, she was found by the Murries, a nice couple who were a year old in their marriage. Several years had passed and Margaret grew up like a normal girl. She now had twin brothers and a Collie dog. At school, everyone thought she was a monster, but she is a ten year old girl, with beautiful eyes and a lot of intelligence. She's an alien but no one knows it, even her. Margaret arrived on Earth thanks to a computer fraud that caused a wrinkle in time. An old woman called Mrs. Whatsit came to Earth on a mission to bring Margaret back. She visits Margaret and buys her nice things to gain Margaret's trust. Mrs. Whatsit lived in the middle of the woods. One day, a theft was reported to the police. A blanket was missing and the thief was Mrs. Whatsit because she needed a lot of warmth because planet Earth was too cold for her. The Tesseract is the name of the species to which Margaret and Mrs. Whatsit belong, they come from another planet. At school, a few people belonging to the same species as Margaret went to participate in a competition. Margaret won the competition, but it wasn't a competition, it was a series of tests that they had to give Margaret to see if she could live on her home planet and see if she was fit to live on her home planet. Mrs. Whatsit was there and after the exams she sat Margaret down and started telling her all about her species and how she got here. At first, Margaret didn't believe it, but then she began to understand all the things she had experienced, all alone, with no one to understand her. Mrs. Whatsit asked Margaret if she wanted to go back to where she was supposed to be, and she remained thoughtful and told her she would tell her later. Every day, Mrs. Whatsit and Margaret would go to the park together and Mrs. Whatsit would tell her everything about their planet. The Murries had planned a trip to the beach but Margaret preferred to stay at home; it was the perfect time to take Margaret to see their planet. Mrs. Whatsit took a small device out of her purse, pointing towards the sky, and it opened like a tunnel that took you exactly to your place. Suddenly, they came to a beautiful green village which later she could remember whenever she wanted by closing her eyes. The people were quite strange but very generous to the people they knew. It was time to leave and the next thing she remembered was green. A month had passed and Margaret was ready to leave planet Earth. She wrote a thank you note to the Murries because they wouldn't understand anything that was happening. mrs..
