Summary: The Statue Named "Angel"
Review: I read The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwieler. If you are a beginning reader, I wouldn't recommend this book. This is a clue/puzzle book. Claudia plans to run away and takes Jamie,her brother, to go with her. In this book their adventures are funny,cool,and weird,such as the time Jamie had to sleep in a bathroom stall. He heard someone washing their hands in the sink,and figured it was somebody visiting the museum. But it ended up to be a janitor filling up his bucket! Can you imagine if you were the janitor! But later Claudia found a statue named "Angel",whom everyone thought was done by Michalangel. Soon "Angel" becomes more important to Claudia than running away. Read this book to see the truth about "Angel". Do you think Michalangelo did it,or not? This book was a good book,but if your looking for a mystery,I wouldn't turn here. But if your looking for an adventure,make your way through the crowd to by this great book!

Summary: The Runaways
Review: Claudia and Jamie run away from home. They go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They see this statue named Angel. They try to figure out who carved it. Both kids think it was Michelangelo. The rest of the book you'll find out, if you read it, that is. If you like adventure-mystery stories, this would be the right book for you. This would be a good book for all ages.

A Beautiful statue called Angel catches Claudia's eye. She is compelled to have a question answered that even baffles the experts; who made this beautiful work of art?

No matter how old you are, how young you are, like me, I guarantee you'll find how these two siblings interact together is quite funny!

Summary: Adventure or Mystery?
Review: Book review by 5th grade reading group: This book was exciting as an adventure story but as a mystery novel it isn't as super. We think this book is pretty good. It is about a girl and her brother who run away to the metropolian museum of art and while they are there they get involved in the mystery of a statue called angel and try to find out who made it. In the end they go to a lady's house. The lady's name is Mrs. Bassil E. Frankwieler. She tells them that the angel was made by Michaelangelo. One student wrote "It was really interesting. I was on the edge of my seat to find out what wa going to happen next."

Review: A Review by 6 fifth graders in Okinawa
This book is about two kids named Claudia and Jamie that runaway from home to a museum in Manhatten because of injustice at home. They live off Jamie's money and Claudia's smarts and run into a mystery about a mysterious angel statue.
Some comments from assorted students
As for a mystery book it didn't have as many clues as I thought there would be.
Iwould recomend this Newberry Honors book to anyone from 4th-6th grade.
I only recomend this book if you're able to place pieces of information together which reading, if not I really don't recomend it.
I hope you enjoy it just like I did!

Summary: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
Review: I am 36 years old and I read this book when I was in elementary school. I remember the book vividly and how much I enjoyed reading it then. I remember how I could hardly wait to turn the page and see if I could solve the mystery myself. I am ordering this book so that my two girls can read it as well. I hope they will enjoy this funny and suspenseful book as much as I did when I was a child. I am so glad that I found it while online at Amazon.com. Thank you for carrying wonderful books!

Summary: Review
Review: When I read this myself, I enjoyed Claudia and Jamie's adventure, so therefore, I enjoyed the book. It had many funny episodes including Jamie and Claudia taking a bath in a restaurant fountain. I thought it was clever. Over the years, I have had mixed reviews from students. My life-long readers enjoy the book usually. My non-readers in fifth grade find it boring. I would imagine the number of pages and the size of print intimidates them. However, I have had a literature response group composed of girls love this book. They had many great conversations about the book. It is worth a look at.

Summary: Horrible, The worst Book
Review: This book was awful, I only read it because I had to at school. It is a stupid story with no point and two extremely stuck up kids. This horrid book was the only book I will EVER read from E.L. Konigsburg. I only gave this a star because I could not give it ZERO!!!
