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

2017 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved classic From the Mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. When Claudia decided to run away she planned very carefully. She would be gone just long enough to teach her parents a lesson in Claudia appreciation. And she would go in comfort-she would live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She saved her money and she invited her brother Jamie to go mostly because be was a miser and would have money. Claudia was a good organizer and Jamie bad some ideas too; so the two took up residence at the museum right on schedule. But once the fun of settling in was over Claudia had two unexpected problems: She felt just the same and she wanted to feel different; and she found a statue at the Museum so beautiful she could not go home until she bad discovered its maker a question that baffled the experts too. The former owner of the statue was Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Without her-well without her Claudia might never have found a way to go home.
