Synopsis
Having run away with her younger brother to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, twelve-year-old Claudia strives to keep things in order in their new home and to become a changed person and a heroine to herself. Part adventure story, part mystery, FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER tells of a sister and brother's amazing sojourn in New York City. Fed up with life in suburban Connecticut, and wanting an adventure that will make her more appreciated by her family and "different" to herself, 12-year-old Claudia Kincaid decides to run away from home. She asks her younger brother, Jamie, to come with her, not only for his company, but also for the fact that he has managed to save a lot of money, which she will need to bankroll her trip. Practical beyond belief, Claudia plans to eventually return home, but in the meantime, she has found an amazing place for them to stay--The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Claudia and Jamie become fascinated by the Museum's latest acquisition, a statue that might have been sculpted by Michelangelo. Determined to prove once and for all that the Renaissance artist created the statue, Claudia and Jamie reach out to the its previous owner, an eccentric widow named Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Mrs. Frankweiler claims to know the identity of the artist--but will she share what she knows with Claudia and Jamie? Illustrated with B&W drawings, FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER won the 1968 Newbery Medal.
