Synopsis
Part adventure story, part mystery, FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER tells of a sister and brother's amazing sojourn in New York City. Fed up with life in suburban Connecticut, and wanting an adventure that will make her more appreciated by her family and "different" to herself, 12-year-old Claudia Kincaid decides to run away from home. She asks her younger brother, Jamie, to come with her, not only for his company, but also for the fact that he has managed to save a lot of money, which she will need to bankroll her trip. Practical beyond belief, Claudia plans to eventually return home, but in the meantime, she has found an amazing place for them to stay--The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Claudia and Jamie become fascinated by the Museum's latest acquisition, a statue that might have been sculpted by Michelangelo. Determined to prove once and for all that the Renaissance artist created the statue, Claudia and Jamie reach out to its previous owner, an eccentric widow named Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Mrs. Frankweiler claims to know the identity of the artist--but will she share what she knows with Claudia and Jamie? Illustrated with B&W drawings, FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER won the 1968 Newbery Medal and has been a children’s classic ever since.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running way in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her back. She didn't like discomfort, even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes."
Industry Reviews
"This novel has all [readers] hope for in a book: humor, suspense, intrigue, and their problems acknowledged seriously but not somberly."
Zvirin
"Fresh and crisply written with uncommonly real and likable characters."
