From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler takes the form of a letter from Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler to her lawyer, Saxonberg. And what a letter it is.
Twelve-year-old
Claudia Kinkaid decides to run away from home with the help of her
little brother, Jamie (who is just nine years old). With Jamie's money
and Claudia's smarts, they bust out of that suburban joint and run to
somewhere that any kid would love. Disneyland? The rainforest? Sweden?
Nope—they end up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Less kid-friendly,
but more filled with pretty, elegant things.
