FROM THE MIXED UP FILES NEWBERY AWARD 68

I got the book after I saw a video on Instagram that interviewed the author's son. I loved reading every word and even bought a second copy to gift to my friend. She enjoyed reading it with her nephew and niece. I recommend that everyone read it regardless of their age.

I read this novel in my 5th grade class together and the novel was very interesting as well as adventurous. It is worth a must to read for everyone. It is hard to put the book as the details become interesting throughout the story.

Poor quality of paper and printing

Genre: Human interest, adventure, light humor, children's fictionAudience: 10 years and above, including adultsAward: Newbery Medal, 1968This is a gentle, thoughtful, warm-hearted, easy-to-read book that describes how two children spent a week in a museum in New York, and how they discovered the story of a marble statue that was thought to have been sculpted by Michaelangelo. The book contains light humor and is well-written. Whereas it is certainly enjoyable, it is not exceptional.My strong discomfort with the book is that the children ran away from home to have their adventure, and the story completely glosses over how much their parents would have suffered during the weeks that the children were away, and how much the children could have suffered had their adventure gone wrong. Impressionable children may get the wrong message from the book. I recommend the book to adults for a light read.

An interesting read. Not as much fun as I thought it would be.

Paper quality is very very bad..... pages are like newspaper sheets

A two-time Newbery Medal Award winner, this book was beautiful. The illustrations are beautiful and I love the author's writing style! Its an adventure, and although it’s a bit slow paced, it kept me hooked till the end. I remember reading it outside in the sun, and having an absolute blast. A great book to pick up on a lazy day, absolutely recommend.Review by my daughter, Arohi Arora

Pushkin Children's books edition of "Mixed Up Files" by Konigsburg deals with runaway children Claudia & Jamie hiding out in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, no less!They also find a priceless treasure to boot.

Loved buying this edition- one of my childhood faves! If there were other books made with this care and wait o would buy them immediately. Simply lovely version of a wonderful book. Great price point.

Site prático, entrega rápida.

I have two grandchildren approximately the age of the two main characters in this book. What a thrill to read this intriguing mystery to them, to see their eyes light up as the story unfolds and their circumstances unravel. This could easily be their story in their young minds. And Mrs Frankweiler is a piece of work! I highly recommend this story for young folks 8 to 12, and for adults looking for adventure, but totally tired of the TV and video fare we’re being made to endure these days.

Alright, time to admit it: who didn’t have an urge to run away from home some time during their growing up years? But it takes guts to do so, and even a little resourcefulness. Enter Claudia Kincaid of Greenwich, Connecticut, the heroine of E.L. Konigsburg’s From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Claudia yearns to escape the injustice and monotony she’s experiencing as the oldest and only girl of her family: having to empty the dishwasher and set the table, arguing about whose turn it is to choose a TV program, and growing bored with being known as the girl with Straight As. She wants adventure, and, with her financially-savvy little brother Jamie in tow, flees to New York City and of all places, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where her curiosity and intelligence lead her right-smack into the middle of a nifty little mystery surrounding a statue called “Angel.” Throughout their adventure at the museum, which becomes their home away from home, the Kincaid kids prove to be so smart, so determined, so much a cut above other kids their age, the reader cannot help but love and respect them, as does the eccentric Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, who plays a shadowy role throughout the narrative but is central to the story’s surprising and heartwarming conclusion. This delightfully imaginative tale may be the best bedtime story ever written. And E.L. Konigsburg could very well be the most gifted children’s author of all time. If you’re looking for a different sort of read with beloved characters, this one is it.
