janeneal 's review for:
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
by E.L. Konigsburg
I'd never read this book before as a kid and I'm sad for my childhood because I was really missing out! To me, this was like the city version of My Side of the Mountain. As a kid, I always imagined running away and living on my own, so I have a huge soft spot for these kinds of stories.
I loved Claudia and Jamie's relationship. I like all kinds of sibling relationships, but it's almost difficult now to find a story where the siblings bicker but still rely on and genuinely like each other. The pacing was kind of slow but I feel like it suited the story and added kind of an air of mystery up to the big reveal at the end. I didn't really know where the story was going but I enjoyed it immensely the whole way through.
