jamie_bibliotecaria 's review for:
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
by E.L. Konigsburg
The idea that two children could disappear into New York for a week without triggering a full-scale manhunt is certainly quaint. As a 2018 adult, though, I really enjoyed this one. It values that children want to be interesting people, people with secrets who might do something unexpected--and it values the same thing about old people, even women. The finances are off, the Met is no longer free, but the novel is essentially timeless.
