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

I'm reading all the famous kids books I skipped due to generational timing or other reasons. Having this knowledge I hope I can make convincing arguments to my kids why they should read certain books. This book will be one of those I strongly encourage the boys to read. We've been to the Met several times and I know they'll relate. The character development is great, and it is somewhat like a detective story. I may suggest it this year for my soon to be 9 year old.
