When we were in America this summer, I went through some of my books. I have three children at my school that are from America but living in Korea for a year to learn English. I wanted to bring some books back for them. I knew that From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler would be a good one to bring back with me. I decided to read it again - just for kicks. It is delightful. Now that I am an adult, I read it pretty quickly. The basic plot line is siblings run away from home to an art museum in New York. They have quite the adventure. If you ever come across this book, read it.
I love this book! I used to dream of living in the museum and still, to this day, I look in the wishing fountains and try to figure if I could survive on the change.
