Summary: What a wonderful book
Review: This book is one of the best ever written. I'm listening to it on tape as I write these words. It is so wonderful because it is entertaining and funny and mysterious and adventurous and everything that good books should be.
Claudia Kincaid is tired of the boring suburban life. She wants to get away, so she decides to run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Mew York City. She chooses her rich and smart-alecky brother Jamie as a companion. There, they hide out and discover a mystery that they just have to solve.
This book is great from page 1. It flies by and as you flip and flip and flip the pages you suddenly realize you're near the end and don't want to stop. The book was written in the 60's but hasn't dated a bit. I suspect that it never will, becuase kids will always be the same, and E.L. Konigsburg's writing will be just as good in 50 years as it is now. This is a book for all kids and adults to read and to treasure.

Review: The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankwieler
BY:E.L.KONIGSBURG OWEN,NEW JERSEY 10
I THOUGHT THE BOOK WAS JUST HORRIBLE BECAUSE YOU COULD PREDICT EVERYTHING AFTER THEY WENT TO THE METROPOLATAN MUSEUM. THE MIXED UP FILES SHOULD OF MADE A BOOK BEFORE IT TO SHOW HOW THE KINCADE FAMILY TREATED CLAUDIA.YOU SHOULD NEVER READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: A book That Failed to Succeed.
Review: You run away with your brother to a museum.Big Deal! The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler was a bad book. That's my opinion,you might have a different one, but think about. Claudia ran away to an Art Museum with her brother. That's company to be with. I have been in places longer than they have by myself. I give this book one star for its poor effort to try to make us like it. This book by E.L Konigsburg was a poor one. This book is for kids five and up because it is so bad. You can read it but it will just be a waste of time. DON'T READ IT. I hope you don't read it. Bye.

Summary: I liked this book a lot.
Review: I like this book because It is a Mystery and it it has a lot clues that you can put together to find out who did it, but I didn't like the book because it was an easy mystery. So you found out who did before the kids in the book did. That is why I liked it and didn't like it.

Summary: This book really catches my attention!
Review: I thought this book was exiting. It was boring in the beginning because I didn't understand why they were running away. When they got to the museum it was intresting. Also while they were figuring out the mystery it was exiting. I think this book is a good book for anyone who likes mysterys.

Review: I think this book is good . Some parts are hard to understand the other parts were great. The part I thought was hard to understand was when in the begining they dont tell you about Saxonberg. the rest of the book was good.

Review: I gave this book 3 stars because I didn't understand why they ran away, when they got to the musuem it was a little better but not much.But when the mstery finally broke out it was exciting. I think this would be a good book for anyone who likes mysterys.

Summary: A Great, Fun, Cool Mystery Book
Review: As a kid, I loved "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler." I could always imagine hiding out in a museum, fishing coins out of fountains (who else is using them, you know?), and I would have loved to have been able to sleep in all those wonderful beds they have! This is a wonderful book for any kid old enough to read and understand it, and it's especially delightful to the rare child who loves puns (bologna vs. baloney).
