Book two of the Austin Family Chronicles, an award-winning young adult series from Madeleine L'Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time, about a girl who experiences the difficulties and joys of growing up.

"Everyone who remembers Meet the Austins as a delightful family story will want to read . . . this wise, beautifully written novel." --Chicago Tribune

As if simply being fourteen-years-old weren't bad enough--what with the usual teenage angst and uncertainty, Vicky Austin's always comforting and reliable home life is changing completely. 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.

But 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.

Wild animal attacks. Life-threatening natural disasters. Cute boys on the prowl. Anything can happen in the great outdoors.

Praise for The Moon by Night:

"Idealistic and wise, this is also absorbing reading and very much a story of today." --The Horn Book Magazine

"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

"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

"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

The best sunscreen I've tried
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Both of my parents and both of my maternal grandparents have had skin cancer at least once, so sunscreen is an absolute must for me. I also have sensory processing issues and can't stand sunscreens that smell artificial and/or leave my skin feeling sticky or greasy. Finally, my skin is super sensitive, so I need a sunscreen that I can apply daily without causing a reaction. I've tried literally hundreds of different sunscreens at all different price points, but because of my rigid list of requirements, I've usually ended up spending a fortune on sensitive-skin-formulated face moisturizers with SPF and using them on all my exposed skin in place of normal sunscreen, because they've been the only options I've found that check every box. Enter Hawaiian Tropic sport sunscreen. Sure, it doesn't absorb into my skin quite as thoroughly as my favorite SPF moisturizer, but it's also less than 1/6th the price for 8x the quantity. It also has a nice scent that doesn't give me a headache (no overtly chemical smell), only barely leaves my skin feeling greasy, and doesn't cause any irritation with daily application. It's the only "normal" (non-moisturizer) sunscreen I can stand to wear. I literally have one bottle in my car, a second in my purse, and a third in my medicine cabinet at all times.

My top choice for outdoor sun protection
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is so important to use for exposed skin sun protection. Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen ( 50 SPF ) is, in my own personal opinion, the best on the market.

Smells like coconuts and works!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was trying to find an SPF 30 sunscreen that smells nice since I'm at work and go on a walk at lunchtime. This sunscreen smells like coconuts and never makes me smell like sunscreen! I will definitely keep buying it when I run out! I haven't gotten a sunburn with it on either. It smells good and does the job!

Decent but not a great "sport" sun lotion.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Hawaiian tropic sport sunscreen worked pretty well for me but not perfect. It worked great on my face and arms that were in the sunlight for a partial amount of time. I noticed on my shoulders, which were in the sun constantly, it didn't provide the kind of protection that I needed which usually I'm usually able to get from a 30 SPF sunscreen. I feel like this sunscreen worked best for me on areas that were only going to be partially exposed and not in the sun the entire day. I will still continue to use it but will only use it when I'm going to be in the pool for a short amount of time. Also, I had the best results with this sunscreen when I let it dry about 10 minutes before getting into the water. In my opinion I think the smell of this sunscreen could be a little bit stronger too, and I found it a little bit weak. I prefer to still smell like sunscreen after putting it on and I barely smell like sunscreen after using it. I also didn't notice anything that would classify this sun lotion as a "sport" sun lotion. I did however find the sun lotion to be very moisturizing which was was nice.
