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

1968 Newbery Medal

Claudia thinks that her parents are being very unfair to her so she decides to run away with her brother Jamie to a museum of art in New York. A new piece of art work is given to the museum and there is a mystery behind it. Who made it? Jamie and Claudia are on the case. They try to gather clues but the only one who knows the truth is Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. They then travel to see her and get a chance to solve this mystery!

I think it was very entertaining. I mean, what a great idea! Two kids who runaway and try to solve a mystery. Fun and exciting. I didn't want to stop reading.

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