About From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs.
Basil E. frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg:
When Claudia decided to run away, she planned very carefully She
would be gone just long enough to teach her parents a lesson in Claudia appreciation. And
she would live in comfort-at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She invited her brother Jamie
to go, too, mostly because he was a miser and would have money
The two took up residence in the museum right on schedule. But once
the fun of settling in was over, Claudia had two unexpected problems: She felt just the
same, and she wanted to feel different; and she found a statue at the museum so beautiful
she could not go home until she had discovered its maker, a question that baffled even the
experts. The former owner of the statue was Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler And without her help
Claudia might never have found a way to go home.
