A Wrinkle in Time Ending What do you think of the ending of the book? Are you surprised?

I think the
real problem lies with the lack of resolution of certain conflicts at the end of the story. 
Earlier in the story line, the author states through a character that 'much more is at stake'
than the fate of Meg's father, who is finally found and set free from captivity on the planet of
Camazotz.

If Mr Murry is indeed rescued and restored to his family in the
'happy end,' things are NOT resolved on Camazotz or elsewhere, are they?  What happens to the
little boy punished for bouncing his ball differently? To the other inhabitants of Camazotz? 
The author does not say. Unlike what is suggested earlier, the order which is restored in the
Murry household on Earth is only a tiny bit of regained territory when it comes to the malign
influence of IT throughout the universe. Meg's problems and those of her family are solved;
her universe is 'fixed' but not the universe in a global way.

Remember, though, that '' is after all a children's book written for a child's
mind-frame, and for children the word 'universe' is too abstract a thing to understand. A
child's 'universe' starts and stops within his or her own realm of experience in this 'age of
innocence.' In this context (and this context only) the conflict of the story is
resolved.
