A review by ardaigle
The Moon by Night by Madeleine L'Engle

4.0

This second novel about The Austins is just as charming as the first, filled with old-fashioned family ideals and happy endings. Vicky, the narrator, finds herself pulling away as she enters her teens and learns a lot about the "real world" as this is one of the first times her family has ventured so far away from home. Through interactions with other characters, the bubble of protection that she has been held in pops but she manages to still hold on to her ideals/values while helping others realize things aren't always as dire as they seem.
