From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg

1968 Newbery Medal

This book is about a brother and sister named Claudia and Jamie. Claudia wants to runaway because now that she isn't an only child her parents aren't paying attention to her. She thinks that she should pick Jamie to go with her because he has a lot of money. While they are at the Metropolitan Museum of Art they find a statue and they try to find out if Michelangelo made it or not.

I thought that it was very entertaining because I could actually relate to where they were going because I use to live in New York.

4 stars - It was a great book and I recommend it to others.
