But that isn't much help right now, is it?" "Wet socks don't bother me. I just don't like the water squishing around in my boots. Now don't worry about me //lamb//."(Lamb was not a word one would ordinarily think of calling Mrs Murry)"I shall just sit down a moment and pop my boots back on and then I'll be on my way.

__Summariser__ Mr Murray doesn't want the beasts to take Meg away. The beasts seem harmless but they don't know what some things are such as people because they don't have eyes. They are confused when Calvin says they haven't had any visitors from other planets before. Mr Murray explains where they come from and where Charles Wallace is. Meg can now wiggle her fingers and toes without any pain. She then starts to panic as the beasts starts to take her, thinking that she will end up just like Charles Wallace but the beasts assure Meg that everything will be okay. The beasts then explains that the Black Thing burns unless it is counteracted properly. Meg starts to feel calm and secure as the beasts carry her with their tentacles so she drifts off to sleep............ When Meg woke up, she realized that the pain was over and only comfort existed. It was dark and looked like shadows walking around. She knows that the beasts saved her and that her father didn't. The beasts said that Meg needs to be an infant again by having her basic needs taken cared for so the beasts fed her, sung to her and dressed her. The kind Beast wants a name and thinks Aunt Beast would suit just fine. Aunt Beast tells Meg that they are on Planet Ixchel. She is confused of how Meg thinks but afterwards she asks Meg if she would like to see Calvin and Father. Meg became slightly sour with Calvin and Father because she turned to the beasts for help. When the beasts served Meg food, despite how it looked, she tucked into it because it tasted delicious! Father apologized for tessering away from **IT** and wanted to save Charles Wallace. Calvin said the beasts knew how to tesser but they can't do it on a Dark Planet. Meg wants to call Mrs Whatsit but instead she starts to get angry. Aunt Beast tells the others not to be too judgmental on Meg as she has been through a lot. Meg tries to describe Mrs Who, Mrs Whatsit and Mrs Which to the bests but does not know how. Aunt Beast still doesn't understand even when Calvin tries to help.

 * Chapter 11**

__Literary Luminary__ Page 160, Paragraph 3 "It is so long since my own small ones were grown and gone," the beast said."You are so tiny and vunerable. Now I will feed you. You must eat slowly and quietly. I know that you are half starved, that you have been without food for far too long, but you must not rush things or you will not get well." I think Aunt Beast felt happy and that this moment with Meg brought back memories of Aunt Beast's own children. __Travel Tracer__
 * Chapter 12**

__Literary Luminary__ Page 179, Paragraph 5 Directly ahead of her was the circular building, it's walls glowing with violet flame, its silvery roof pulsing with a light that seemed to Meg to be insane. Again she could fell the light, neither warm nor cold, but reaching out to touch her, pulling her towards IT. I liked how many adjectives the writer put into this paragraph because it made it desciptive and interesting.
