Summary: Great book!
Review: I read this book when I was 9 or 10 years old(I'm 14 now!), and to this day I remember the plot! When I read it, I loved it so much I wrote a short story about how I went to the Smithsonian Museum of Art and lived there until my mom found me when she went to the library with her third grade class. It was complete fiction, of course, and it seemed exciting. I recommend this book to any 9-12 year old who needs a good book report book. This is the book for you!

Summary: Running away?
Review: Have you ever thought of it? Oh, but you'd come back. You'd run away and come back differently. That's what 13 year old Claudia wanted to do with her nine year old companion. You had to plan it out though. Oh yes she did plan it out and she planned out exactly where she wanted to go also: The Metropoliton Museum of Art in New York. You might think it would be hard, but not for Claudia and her brother Jamie. Every time they take a bath they get money. Now what does that mean? Well, you'll just have to read the book and see. Although this book was quite boring and not one of my favorites, if you enjoy books where you get to know the characters better than the story and books with mystery then read this.

Summary: A Wonderful Adventure
Review: My mother read this book to me when I was young, and I was captivated by it. I am now giving it to my 9 yr. old sister-in-law. The author has such a gift for descrition- I remember feeling how frightening, yet exciting it would be to be the only ones in a museum. It must have had some effect- here I am working late in a museum!

Summary: Boring book
Review: This book is boring. A girl runs away ( I don't know why ) but she has to live in a museum and sleep on a fancy bed (because she is spoiled, I guess). So she becomes obsessed by this statue and does not want to go home. This book is prissy. I am sorry I picked this book to read for school.

Summary: What a Wonderful Book!!!
Review: "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler" by E.L. Konisburg is an excellent book.It is sort of like a great ig mystery. It is about a young girl named Claudia, who is aroud 11 or 12 years old, and her younger brother Jamie, who is around 9 or so years old. Well to make a long wonderful, nice story short, the two kds run away from home to the Metropolitian Museum of Art, with only about $25.00. The kids do a lot of different things that most children wouldn't do if they ran away from home, but they are great ideas. Well in their vist to the Metropolitian Museum they discover a bueatiful statue called angel. Anyways this is the whole big mystery- no one really knows for sure if Micaelangelo really did this staue or not. Then the children discover ane lderly widow by the name of Mrs. Besil E. Frankwieler. he children use the last of their money, to drive to Mrs. Frankwieler's house in Harford, Connecticut. They spend the night and have a wonderful time at Mrs. Frankwieler's house, they also find a tantalizing mystery. That they can't belive. Mrs. Frankwieler leaves the children a wonderful present in her will. This changes the children's lives forever. To find out what a great present the kids recive you have to read "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwieler". This is a fun filled book, that you will never forget. Quote-"She'll be the only women in the world to become a grandmother with never becoming a mother first."
