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

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


At 55, I recently reread the book and it holds ups. And while changes in the ways we communicate and do security in public places might make the nights in the museum tough from a modern perspective, the book still has a lot of wonder and delight. y only disappointment was that when my middle-school self contemplated how I would do it from my NJ home, I was sleeping under the blue whale at the Museum of Natural History.
