Summary: Good, but Not the Best of L'Engle
Review: It's kinda hard to get into -- especially if you've been to the places she's describing. At one point she states "I won't tell you about it, for you can look it up in Nat'l Geographic." Then you ponder that if she didn't tell you about these places, the book would be reduced by about ... 1/3.
Great family dynamics, interesting story, feelings that every girl goes through, and definitely something that helps you understand "A Ring of Endless Light", which is something everyone should read.

Summary: "The Moon by Night" LEngle's Best
Review: Madeleine L'Engle gives us something to think about. It may be God, or death, or love.This book does this better than any other. I've read this book 3 times now and like it better every time. Vicky is a character that any woman of any age can identify with. It is timeless literature. The best scene is her religious discussion with Uncle Douglas. Any and everyone should read this book

Summary: A wonderful novel
Review: Moon by Night was one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. I first enjoyed it when I was thirteen and it touched me deeply. L'engle uses her empathtic writing skills to show all of the fears and uncertanities of growing up in this book. It is perfect for young adults because it expresses understanding and universal emotions which we are so often unsure of. I also recommended it to former Wrinkle in Time children and suggest that any fans also read other books with Vicki, especially a Ring of Endless Light.

Summary: The Moon by Night
Review: The Moon by Night, written by Madeleinel L' Engle was one of the best books that I have read in a long time. This is a story of a troubled boy (Zachary) who has found interest in a very simple girl (Vicky), and both are trying to distinguish themselves. Vicky has always been overshadowed by her younger sister and older brother, and is now being followed by Zachary, who which none of her family appears to like. The Moon by Night is a lovely book about a girl growing up, and a boy trying to find himself.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: This is another great book from Madeline L'Engle. It is again told through the eyes of Vicky Austin. She is 14 now, and her life's changing forever. Maggy has been living with the Austins for two years, and is going to live with Uncle Douglas and Aunt Elena, recently married. The Austins will then go on a cross country camping trip, and return to not their safe haven of Thornhill, but New York City where Mr. Austin will do research. On the trip Vicky meets Zachary, who exposes her to life's sorrows. She also meets Andy, who becomes his rival. This is another classic from Ms. L'Engle!

Summary: Bravo Madeline L'engle!
Review: This is one of my favourite books,and I know I will never grow too old to enjoy it. I identify strongly with fourteen year old Vicky,who tells the story. She and her family are travelling around America,before they move to New York.On the way Vicky meets Zachary,a very confused and troubled boy,who almost envies her naiveity. Vicky is not sure if she likes Zach as much as he likes her, but she learns a lot from knowing him. While journeying through new places with her family, she finds out about friendship and courage, and understands more how to love people (including herself) for what they are, not what they could be. This book has helped,(and is still helping,)me to grow up.I would reccomend it to anyone as a wonderful read, and I send a big thank you to Madeline L'engle for writing it!

Summary: Life For A Teen Girl
Review: This story is about the thoughts of a young girl as she goes through life, finding who she truly is. What's happening? Where are you, God? Why me? ... Ever thought this before? Vicky Austin has. Being 14 isn't easy, and that's why I liked this book. Beautifully written, explaining a teen girl's life through this young girl's emotions. "The Moon By Night" deals with many situations that a young woman may come across, particularly the choice between boys. A romance written for teen girls seeking understandment, this book is a best.
Thinking of what I didn't like about this book, I can't. I guess what annoyed me was that throughout the whole book, the Austin family is moving from one place to the next, which gets kind of old. Also, Vicky seems to just go off with any guy, not knowing what exactly they are like. This is seen through my eyes, since I would not just let any boy kiss me. So it isn't very fair, since that is just me and everyone is different. I enjoy romance with heart, that make me think. In the end, my resolution is, "Read the book!"

Summary: A book well worth your time!
Review: Vicky Austin is the main character of this touching novel. Her family is moving to New York; and to help soften the blow, they decide to camp all the way across the United States. Vicky takes this especially hard, because the move from rural Thornhill, to New York means ripping out everything she's established. Vicky slowly matures over the summer, and is exhilarated when she's followed across the country by Zachary Gray. Over the summer she learns many things about entering the adult world. I found this book to be yet another masterpiece by Madeleine L'Engle. She tends to carry characters over, and Vicky Austin reappears in several other books. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and one of the things I found to be the most interesting was the character development. I can't wait to read another one!
