"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"--P. [4] of cover.… (meer)

Sweet and yet so dated. There was a ton of "hooligans" and "hoodlums" who talked like bad boys in the 60's were supposed to talk. There was s nice story of a family travelling across the US, but was boring and I didn't feel the need to finish it. (

I might have enjoyed this second book in the Austin Family Chronicles even more than the first. The Austins are about to move to New York City, but first they are taking a cross-country camping trip to see the country and visit friends and relatives. The story comes through the perspective of Vicky, second oldest of the Austin children as she begins to itch a bit at the confines of family, begins to have interest in boys, and discovers more about who she is. Sometimes slightly dated in some attitudes, but not enough to be terribly bothersome, though of course that is YMMV. More annoying is the boy who won't leave Vicky alone. We're supposed to think he's kind of okay despite being... not all that okay, and that was the hardest thing to sit with for me. (

In this book we first meet Zachary who we persist in messing with various heroines for book upon book. In general this book is very straightforward except for the rather bizarre ending. Overall a good read. (

An interesting examination of teenaged angst, but shadowed by the worst "bad boy" in all of literature. No, really. Zachary Grey is legit the worst. I fully believe Christian Grey was named for Zachary, that's how terrible he is as a character. (
