Book Review: Meet the Austins by Madeleine L'Engle - a mid 20th century children's book. Very wholesome and a bit boring. There is just not much that happens in the book. An orphaned girl comes to live with them but that is the main story arc.

3.5 stars. I expected a little sci-fi, but still well-developed and likable characters.
Honestly not my favorite L'Engle books. I adore her and most of her books, but this one just doesn't do anything for me. I'm always drawn more to the sci-fi/fantasy genre, so that's probably part of it.
