An Old Favorite

This is an old favorite of mine that I often buy for children to whom I want to give a gift. My own children enjoyed the book in the 70s, both as I read it to them and as they read it for themselves. My grandchildren loved the book too. Now I buy it for other children with whom I am...

Treasure of a Book

You know that book you read once, and remember fondly forever? This is one of those books for me. What's not to love about the premise of running away to a museum? And not just ANY museum, the NY Met!!! I was so jealous of just that very idea, let alone the mystery of whether Angel is by...

A Childhood Favorite

I bought this book from a Readers Club order sheet I brought home from school some 35 years ago. Although I no longer have the book, it is the only book that I recall enjoying immensely. I'm suprised that so many reviews reflect the same sentiments as the "One Book" that they rememeber the most....

Review of Mixed-Up Files

The book, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, is a book where the conflicts the characters face are conflicts with others, and with objects. The reason for these conflicts is because the two main characters, Claudia and Jamie Kincaid run away from home because Claudia wants to...

A decent book worth reading

This book is a pretty good book. This book is amusing, and it is also entertaining. It is a good use of time. I think that there are more slightly better quality books. This book was cool because in parts there are a lot of exquisite actions such as where they sleep in the museum, what they try...

Just ew

I had to read this in 5th grade and it was torture throughout. The story was good but the way it was written gave no true human reactions and it was a normal book with a weird displaced mistery put into it.

If I'd Read This Book Forty Years Ago...

As I child I would have wanted to be Claudia: brave enough to run away, worldly enough to live in a museum, and smart enough to figure out the "cupid" mystery. But having read it only a few days ago, as an adult, I'd like to have written some of lines author E.L. Konigsburg attributed to her...

From the Mixed-Up Files of Basil E. Frankweiler

I received 8 of 10 individual orders of this used novel within a few days and the other two before the deadline. The quality of the novels was overall good - perfect covers and very slight yellowing. I had one query from a vendor for which I received a prompt reply from the vendor and from...
