Her brother John is going off to college in the fall. Maggy, an orphan taken in by the Austins two years ago, has gone to live with her legal guardian. And the rest of Vicky's family is moving from their quiet house in the country to the heart of New York City.\n\nBut before the big move, the entire Austin family is taking a meandering trip across the country in their station wagon, stopping to camp along the way, with no set schedule and not a single night of camping experience among them.\n\nWild animal attacks. Life-threatening natural disasters. Cute boys on the prowl. Anything can happen in the great outdoors.\n\nPraise for The Moon by Night:\n\n“Idealistic and wise, this is also absorbing reading and very much a story of today.” ―The Horn Book Magazine\n\n“Everyone who remembers Meet the Austins as a delightful family story will want to read its successor. . . . Vicky, groping painfully for answers, finding help from many sources, will strike chords of sympathy and understanding in her contemporaries, who are certain to find comfort and satisfaction in this wise, beautifully written novel.” ―Chicago Tribune\n\n“The Austin family spends the summer on a cross-country camping trip . . . Vicky, now ‘almost 15,' tells the story, and the reader feels a strong personal identification with the thoughts and emotions of this age group through her story.” ―School Library Journal\n\n“With natural dialogue and good characterization, this story of an intelligent, lifelike family is far superior to the average fare for the early teens.” ―Booklist\n\nBooks by Madeleine L'Engle\n\nA Wrinkle in Time Quintet\nA Wrinkle in Time\nA Wind in the Door\nA Swiftly Tilting Planet\nMany Waters\nAn Acceptable Time\n\nA Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Madeleine L'Engle; adapted \u0026amp; illustrated by Hope Larson\n\nIntergalactic P.S. 3 by Madeleine L'Engle; illustrated by Hope Larson: A standalone story set in the world of A Wrinkle in Time.\n\nThe Austin Family Chronicles\nMeet the Austins (Volume 1)\nThe Moon by Night (Volume 2)\nThe Young Unicorns (Volume 3)\nA Ring of Endless Light (Volume 4) A Newbery Honor book!\nTroubling a Star (Volume 5)\n\nThe Polly O'Keefe books\nThe Arm of the Starfish\nDragons in the Waters\nA House Like a Lotus\n\nAnd Both Were Young\n\nCamilla\n\nThe Joys of Love\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0312379323\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0312379323.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:L'Engle, Madeleine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
