From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler Review
User Submitted From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler ReviewsAugust 29, 2008 2nd favorite book After the Witches by Roald Dahl this is my second favorite children's book. I just absolutely love it!! August 21, 2008 From the Mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler It was a good book because it was full of suspense, action, funny stuff, and laughter. I would like to read it again somtime when I have free reading time. August 1, 2008 Mysterious Statue From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler By E.L. Konigsburg This is a delightful story for children of all ages. I'm wondering why I never discovered this book when I was a kid? Claudia is planning to run away. She wants a different life, than that of the oldest child with so many responsibilities. Her brother Jamie doesn't know it yet, but she has chosen him to be her companion. One reason she has chosen Jamie, is because he is good with money. Claudia usually spends her money on hot fudge sundaes, but Jamie has saved over twenty dollars. Claudia plans for them to take a train to New York City, and stay in the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Arts. Hiding out, being hungry most of the time, and walking in order to save money, the two children experience the adventure of a lifetime. They also get involved in the mystery of an angel statue which was sold to the museum by Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Could the angel statue be a real Michelangelo? Only Mrs. Frankweiler knows for sure. Will Claudia and Jamie get caught in the museum? Will they run out of money and need to go home before solving the mystery? Does their family really miss them? Can they find Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler? Will she be willing to help them, if they do find her? I recently spent the night in The Museum of Ancient History, in Draper Utah, with two of my granddaughters. They call it Dino-snores. We slept right under the tail of a huge dinosaur. There is definitely something intriguing about sleeping in a museum, especially when the lights go out. Jill Ammon Vanderwood Author: Through the Rug Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Through the Rug) July 12, 2008 A fun book I picked this book up at a local book store because I was going on vacation. I read a lot of complex books and such, in my profession so I was looking for something simple, easy to read, but very fun and enjoyable. WEll, this book accomplished all of the above. The book is a great introductory book to a young person who is a pre-teen making a transition into chapter books. Ms. Konigsburg develops the characters well, especially the children, and I promise there are surprises around every corner. My favorite character in the book has to be Mrs. Frankweiler. She is so mysterious only because she wants to be. I remember many times growing up wishing I had some all-important secret that I could keep to make me important. Then I wondered could I actually keep the secret? Mrs. Frankweiler doesn't just have one important secret she has file cabinets full. I went to the national Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, FL right after reading this book, and found myself asking where would I hide in here. I love this book, and would reccomend it to the young and the young at heart. Just when you think you know everything, trust me you know nothing in this book. Even at the end you understand that Mrs. Frankweiler is the master keeper of secrets. May 20, 2008 movie? Does anyone know what the title of the movie was that is based on this book? April 5, 2008 a childhood favorite I love this book. I saw it one day in the bookstore with my 7 year old who is a good reader. I bought it for her as a gift and re-read it first. I enjoyed it again as an adult and she has enjoyed it too. A good read with enough excitement and mystery to keep you turning the pages (but nothing scary). January 18, 2008 Such a great book! One of my childhood favorites! I recently went to the Met and just had to purchase and re-read the book! January 18, 2008 I love this book! I think this is one of the best books I read growing up. I can't say enough good things about it. It is a must read! January 15, 2008 Great Book! I absolutely loved this book! I am 23, and can remember reading this book over and over as a pre-teen/young adult and loving it. I currently have it in my library and re-read it every once in a while. I am definitely keeping it for my children to read, and I would recommend it to anyone! December 30, 2007 Wonderful Classic "From the Mixed-up Files...' is one of the great books for middle school-aged children. Years ago I enjoyed reading it after my daughter recommended it. This year I gave it to my niece. Not to be missed! For more From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler reviews click here.
