Critical Essay by Elaine Moss
183 words, approx. 1 pages
 Madeleine L'Engle's Meet the Austins … deserves notice because it takes one small step towards filling the yawning spiritual gap in novels for the young. As unfashionable as covered knees, it explores, from the secure anchorage of a happy American family, the meaning of life and death. (p. 702) Elaine Moss, in The Spectator (© 1966 by The Spectator; reprinted by permission of The Spectator), June 3, 1966.

Critical Essay by May Hill Arbuthnot and Zena Sutherland
105 words, approx. 1 pages
 [Meet the Austins is one of the first family-centered books] since Little Women to handle the death of a loved one so well (p. 462) The children's ups and downs, a serious brother-sister conflict, some funny and some grave situations—all develop against a background of family love. This is a fine family story, as unusual and provocative throughout the whole book as is its first chapter. (p. 463)
