A review by kricketa
The Anti-Muffins by Madeleine L'Engle, Gloria Ortiz

3.0

my love of the austin family led me to interloan this book, a short story written for a younger audience than "meet the austins." chronologically it fits right after the events in that book.

this was a reasonably entertaining, if slightly preachy and ridiculously outdated, little visit with the austin family.

i'm amazed that a public library is still circulating this little number in the j section. it's part of a series called "The Education of the Public and the Public School: A Monograph Series of the UNITED CHURCH BOARD FOR HOMELAND MINISTRIES" and opens with a long and boring introduction explaining its inclusion in the series. just what all the kids want to read!
