Meg Murry sta avendo un momento difficile. Suo padre, l'astrofisico Dr. Jack Murry, è misteriosamente scomparso. Il suo giovane fratello, Charles Wallace, un genio, è infastidito e sminuito ed è considerato uno stupido perché non rivolge la parola a nessuno al di fuori della sua famiglia. Meg non va d'accordo con i suoi coetanei, con gli insegnanti, con i suoi fratelli gemelli di 10 anni, e persino con se stessa. In questa situazione infelice giunge una sconosciuta, la misteriosa Signora Cosè, che veste in un modo molto strano, e le sue amiche la Signora Chi e la signora Quale.
