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

5.0

Loved it! Claudia decides to run away to the New York Metropolitan Art Museum and take James, one of her younger brothers, with her. She's the planner, and he's the financial controller. It's an adventure! Taking baths in a fountain and sleeping in a Victorian bed at night, they spend their days following school groups. Claudia strongly believes in learning something new each day. She becomes focused on learning the secret to who sculpted a 2' angel. That's where Mrs. Frankweiler comes into the story. It's a cute story. I highly recommend.
