Synopsis
Meet the Austins is the title of a 1960 novel by Madeline L'Engle, the first of her books about the Austin family. It introduces the characters Vicky Austin and her three siblings, and Maggy Hamilton, an orphan. Vicky's noisy, loving, mostly-happy family is disrupted by the arrival of Maggy, a spoiled, troubled only child who had very little family life even before her father died in a plane crash.

About Red Owl Books
I specialize in hand-picked, children's used books. Children's books have always been my passion. Stories about Family Values; Inner Strength & Peace; our Earth Mother & her Creatures; Legends & Folklore of all kinds are a sample of the types of books I want to share. Many adults (including me), need these stories as much as our children do. Touched by the illustrators' beautiful work, the author's heartfelt words- I gather the books that move me and offer them to you.
