*Alert Majoorrrr Spoilers"
The children have now experienced first hand the power of the "witches", who have just "tessered" them to a place where even moving at the speed of light would taken them years in a matter of seconds. Calvin and Meg are both confused and shocked, while Charles Wallace is not surprised at all, as if this kind of unearthly event happened everyday. More shocking is that, the witches are beings from another place, and their true form is one of beauty and grace, pure white, winged, a soothing face, and gives off a motherly aura that makes the children instantly feel at peace and calm (with the exception of Charles who wasn't in a state of disorder in the first place.) The children are then shown where their father is, behind an evil mass of darkness that swallow worlds whole in its conquest of everything. Frightened but determined, the children brace themselves for the hard journey ahead of them.
The reasons for this book being banned are becoming more clear as there are aliens, unimaginable speeds of travel, and an evil that threatens all. Now... what other stupid reasons can I think of. I could be of course, missing the reasons why the book was banned, as I have not finished the book. Besides that, very interesting chapter, I can not wait for the next chapter when they explain just how "tessering" works and how it relates to wrinkles and how, their father being a normal human, can fight against something that evil.

I think (because the name sounds so similar) that "tessering" has something to do with traveling through the "fourth dimension", because tesseracts are 4D cubes. The wrinkles might have something to do with the belief in physics that time is the fourth dimension.
Personally, having read this book, I find it hard to believe that it has been banned. Maybe it is because of the traveling through dimensions aspect of it that has caused people to be horrofied, but what in that should be forbidden for others to read. Other than being interesting I don't understand how that book could be of some kind of threat to anyone.
