Is A Wrinkle in Time Clean? Profanity and Content Guide for the Audiobook

Meg Murry's trip across space and time to find her missing father is one of those books a lot of us met young, and the question parents ask is whether it's still a fit for their own kids. On our numbers, yes, with very little to manage. Our reviewers found eleven moments in about six and a half hours. Language barely registers: two mild-to-moderate profanities and five uses of God's or Jesus's name, four of them mild. Our reviewers tag every use of those names the same way, so you can decide what counts for your family. The bulk of the skipped time is violence, four moments adding up to about a minute and a half, mostly mild, with one moderate. That's the darker, scarier side of the story's villain, nothing graphic. All in, you'd skip under two minutes. The verdict is Light, and I'd hand this to a nine or ten year old without much worry. For a younger or more easily frightened kid, filter moderate violence and leave the rest. If your family prefers no casual use of God's name at all, turn on mild blasphemy too. Either way you'll finish the book with the strange, hopeful heart of it intact, which is what makes it worth revisiting in the first place.
