From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
Book • 1967
The story follows Claudia, an 11-year-old girl, and her 9-year-old brother Jamie, who decide to run away from home and live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
While there, they discover a small marble statue that may have been carved by Michelangelo and embark on a journey to uncover its provenance, which leads them to the enigmatic Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
The narrative is cleverly framed as a letter from Mrs. Frankweiler to her lawyer, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue to the tale of adventure, self-discovery, and family bonds.
