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

I missed this one as a kid, not sure how or why. When I had to choose a “missed” book off the top 100 children's books to read for my History of Children's Literature course, this one jumped out at me because it was the inspiration for a part in my favorite movie, the Royal Tenanbaums.

Overall I thought it was great, but I would have liked a whole lot more of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Actually I would have liked a whole lot more of the whole book. :)
