Sinopsis

A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021)

Run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with E. L. Konigsburg’s beloved classic and Newbery Medal­–winning novel From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler!

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 go in comfort-she would live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She saved her money, and she invited her brother Jamie to go, mostly because be was a miser and would have money.

Claudia was a good organizer and Jamie bad some ideas, too; so the two took up residence at 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 bad discovered its maker, a question that baffled the experts, too.

The former owner of the statue was Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Without her—well, without her, Claudia might never have found a way to go home.

An Excerpt from From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs.
      Basil E. Frankweiler

      

      Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running
      away. That is, running away 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. Therefore,
      she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere
      but would be running to somewhere. To a large place, a comfortable place,
      and indoor place, and preferably a beautiful place. And that's why she decided
      upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
