Description:

Something is terribly wrong with Charles Wallace Murry. The brilliant six-year-old is gasping for breath, his body fading by the day — and stars are mysteriously vanishing from the sky. When Charles Wallace casually mentions seeing a "drive of dragons" in the back garden, his sister Meg dismisses it… until she meets Proginoskes, a magnificent cherubim of wings, eyes and fire, sent to help. To save her brother, Meg, her friend Calvin and the most unlikely of allies must shrink to an unimaginable scale and journey deep inside one of Charles Wallace's own cells, where they must face the Echthroi — soul-eating forces of pure hatred that are tearing the universe apart. To win, Meg must learn the hardest lesson of all: how to truly love.
