One of my absolute favorite books in elementary school, still remember reading it and how it impacted my thoughts on reading ( ) Rereading this with my daughter was wonderful! The magic of running away to live in the MET still resonated, but I loved Claudia's journey to understand herself even more than I did as a child. Her exploration of her own motivations will stay with her much longer than her week in the museum. I loved that she and her brother Jamie have such different personalities when it comes to spending money and planning. They are forced to learn how to prioritize and compromise. And Mrs. Frankweiler is just delightful! What fun to read this again after nearly 40 years! I remembered a few good sections and the exchange of characters leading each other back and forth, but the ending in The Files was a true surprise. (Just wish that, even in 1967, Mrs. Basil had moved to a happy smaller home and given away her money to poor folks.) no reviews | add a review
