Rating: Summary: An awesome book! Review: This book is about Claudia and her younger brother Jamie. They run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art because of injustice at home. While they are there a new statue called "angel" gets moved in. They steal a newspaper and find out that it could have been made by Michaelangelo. They go to the library and do some research and they are stuck. Finally they find out how to solve the mystery. Without "angel" they might have never found out a way to go home. This book is very interesting and hard to put down because you want to know what happens next.

Rating: Summary: The Museum Life Review: Claudia and Jamie ran away because she wanted adventure. They will stay in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Claudia chose Jamie to go with her because he was rich. He played war on the bus and he cheated. Claudia saw a statue of an angel in the museum. Claudia really wanted to find out who made the statue, so they went to see Mrs. Frankweiler for help. They washed their clothes in a laundromat. They slept in Marie Antoinette's bed. Every night when the guards closed up they hid in the bathrooms on top of the toilets. I recomend this book for young adults. This book is a very good book. It's funny, exciting,and even adventurous book. It's a realistic fiction book. I give it 4 stars.
Rating: Summary: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler Review: I liked the mystery of the statue "Angel" in From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. I also enjoyed that there weren't tons of characters to keep track of. I really disliked that the story wasn't being narrorated as it happened.There was someone telling about it the whole time. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes books with strange and exciting twists to them.

Rating: Summary: The best! Review: This was the first of her books that I read, and I can tell you that it wasn't the last. A cute story with a marvelous plot that reeks with cleaverness. Trust me. You've gotta read it. I would also recomend any of her other books too!
Rating: Summary: So well written, it's a pleasurable read for any age. Review: I loved the book 28 years ago as a ten-year-old girl, and I love it now, reading it aloud to my young sons. Children and adults will find the humor in sometimes the same thing, and in sometimes quite different situations. (My sons and I both think the boy Jamie is a hoot). Ms. Konigsburg's insight into the sharp and curious minds of young boys and girls -- and siblings, at that! -- is right on the mark. The action never lags; the museum/city setting and details draw you in and the dialogue speeds the adventure along. I can't imagine anyone being dreadfully disappointed with this book. Check it out!
Rating: Summary: Better for Grandma than the today kids Review: It was surely a fine book in a time my mother was a child, so it reminds me of our classical sweet kitsch "Heidi". The children act as I've never seen children act - don't even forget to change their clothing, to go to the laundry and to count every cent to pay for fees ... - sooo very good children are parents pride, aren't they? For me it is a (little bit outdated) projection of what adults wish how children should act, historically interesting, nothing what my child will probably enjoy today.
