Consider A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Recommended by 3 sources.
“An imaginative, fast-starting middle-grade science-fiction adventure centered on a homesick young protagonist, a small family crisis, and sudden visitors who push the plot into cosmic territory. The best parts are bright, surreal set pieces and a clear emotional spine: loyalty and love anchor even the out-there ideas. The book's limitation is an often didactic voice and episodic middle passages where ideas are discussed at length, which can slow momentum for adult readers. Read as a nostalgic, idea-driven ride rather than a modern, tight thriller.”
