Question

Can you compare and contrast the book and movie of The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler?

Answer 1

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.
