The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World by E.L. Konigsburg

3.0

I think if this book had been by someone else, I would have been more impressed. But it reminded me too much of the author's incomparable From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Same idea of a cranky, eccentric, cool old lady with a lot of stuff who sets up an art-related mystery for two children to solve on their own. But here the main character is an exile from NY to Florida instead of a suburban runaway to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Sorry, just doesn't match up.
