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

1968 Newbery Medal

In the first part of the book, Claudia thinks she is not appreciated so she runs away from home with James, her brother, for a few days to the Metropolitan Museum. But when she goes there and sees a statue called Angel, she has to know more about it. This leads her to Farmington, Conn, to the house of Mrs. Frankweiler. Mrs. Frankweiler gives them the information they need and a ride home.

It was a good book, but what made it just good was that they never really needed the money from the fountain.

3 stars - It was a good book.
