Answer:
In "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle, Charles Wallace possesses a special ability that goes beyond his exceptional intelligence: he has a heightened sense of intuition and can understand and perceive things beyond normal human capabilities. This often manifests as a form of telepathy or an uncanny ability to read people's thoughts and feelings, even when they do not express them outright.
Charles Wallace's decision to trust Calvin O'Keefe is driven by this intuitive sense. Despite Calvin being somewhat of a stranger, Charles Wallace perceives his sincerity and goodness. He instinctively understands that Calvin is trustworthy and that he has an important role to play in their journey. This deep sense of intuition allows Charles Wallace to make judgments about people based on their inherent character rather than their outward behavior, leading him to trust Calvin even without extensive prior interaction.
