Summary: it's been my favorite book for 22 years
Review: i was nine years old when i first read this book for a book report in 4th grade. i lived in prairie grove, arkansas, then: population 1200. now i'm 31 and live in new york city, and as soon as i moved here i went to the metropolitan museum and tried to find the bed where claudia and jamie slept and the fountain where they bathed. i have since gone back to prairie grove and read the book to the 4th grade class my mother now teachers, and when they begged me to read just one more page i knew i had given them a real gift. no other children's book even comes close. everyone needs a lesson in claudia appreciation!

Summary: A classic all kids will love
Review: My son is into the books on tape at bedtime and has been for years. As he has gotten older (6 yrs old) he is really into the "mini-novels" for children. This has become one of his favorites. Great pick.

Summary: From The Mixed-Up Files Of...
Review: I am a 5th Grade student at Waldron Mercy Academy (AMD). The main characters of this fine book are Claudia and Jamie Kincaid. It is about a ten year old hard-working girl, named Claudia Kincaid, who is tired of doing the same old chores and cleaning up things that she didn't even do! After a little thought, Claudia decides to run away from home. Claudia is broke and needs company, so she decides to bring her brother Jamie, who is incredibly kind and has plenty of money. As soon as they can, Claudia and Jamie Kincaid are on their way to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City.
One day, when Claudia and Jamie were drifting the streets of New York City, they passed by a beautiful statue named Angel, and couldn't keep their eyes off it. Through this miraculous trip, Claudia and Jamie tried to research who created Angel long ago, and who sold it to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Well, towards the end of this adventure, Claudia and Jamie found out that Michaelangelo created Angel, and some how, it belonged to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler before she sold it to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. A few days later, Claudia and Jamie Kincaid met Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and never knew they would become the best of friends for life! This book is mysterious and pleasurable book to read. I recommend this book for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. You will enjoy this book as much as I did!

Summary: All Time Favorite
Review: In the book, From The Mixed Up Files, Claudia and Jamie aare the two main characters. Claudia feels that her family isn't treating her faairly. She desides to take Jamie with her because he saves all his money. He also is the one Claudia thinks most understands her. They decide that they will go to the Mteropolitan Museum because they both would like to see it. As stowaways they find something special that will change their whole aadventure.
I liked this bokk because it haas a lot of adventure to it and has an excellent plot that is easy to foolow. I would recommend this book to you because it is a superior Newbery award book for all kids. I think that this book is a first-class selection because it can show you how to come up with things you don't have. I think that this book is about being without a real home or food sevrved to you. If you don't have an all time favorite book, well then just go to the bookstore and read From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. E. Basil Frankweiler, by E.L. Konigs burg.

Summary: A Classic
Review: This is one of those books that deeply affected me as a kid. I, too, was the oldest and had three brothers (creepy, huh?) Running away to live in a museum: what a great idea, even if you have to drag your little brother along. The only thing I dislike about this book is that it seemed to end too quickly, and the ending didn't make sense to me. But I have noticed that with a few of Konigsburg's books. All in all, worth reading and buying.

Summary: memories
Review: This book is one that has such fond memories of chilhood for me. To read it is to love it, and I can't wait to share it with my children. If your child has a wild imagination, likes mysteries, is into museums, or has a sibling this is a must read for many reasons. Grab a cup of hot cocoa and a cuddly blanket and enjoy.
