Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away... so she decided not to run FROM somewhere, but TO somewhere. And so, after some careful planning, she and her younger brother, Jamie, escaped-- right into a mystery that made headlines!

What a fun trip down memory lane! I think my fantasies of sneaking into the MET after hours and sleeping in those mind blowing rooms started before I ever read this and were probably inspired by Corduroy‘s nighttime department store adventures, but those fantasies made me immediately fall in love with this story, and in turn, reading this kept that fantasy alive in me (and a whole generation of NY children) for many years after.

Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 12mo

I was feeling sad that my reread was on audio and I‘d miss out on reliving all the original illustrations, so I went searching for some of the images online and found this gem that perfectly describes the mixed emotions of revisiting a favorite childhood book https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-bed

Tea_and_Starstuff Ah! I remember loving this book. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 12mo
Ruthiella I loved this book too as a child. I reread it a few years ago and found it really holds up. 12mo
tpixie A blurb about the man who donated the bed. Too bad it‘s not on display. This article says his donations re part of the permanent collection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irwin_Untermyer 12mo

ImperfectCJ I loved it as a child and later read it to my kids and they enjoyed it (but didn't love it). When we visited the Library of Congress, they were upset that they were too young to go into the reading room, so they comforted themselves by imagining an overnight-at-the-library scenario inspired by this book. 12mo
tpixie @ImperfectCJ fun! It sounds like the book meant something to them after all!! 12mo

Good book to read with Trix prior to our trip to New York. I loved the fact that the siblings ran away to the Met and it was fun to walk through a few of the rooms whilst we were there and speculate whether they contained the beds slept in. I love reading books and watching movies set in locations we intend to visit and I do think it helps children get excited about vacations.

📖 12-10-22 || Love this just as much as I did when I read it in 4th grade (decades ago!). I love this special edition so much with the original illustrations, the photos of the author‘s correspondence with the editor, and invitation to the Newbery award ceremony in 1968.

I put this on hold as soon I saw today‘s prompt was #ArtMuseaumDay. I think every geeky little kid in NY dreamed about sneaking into the regency rooms in the Met after hours & playing on the furniture whether they read this book or not. It was Rodin room that made me first fall in love w the place, by I went back nearly every weekend for a year & those rooms became an obsession for me long before I discovered this gem of a book. #NovemberNarrative

4 🌟: Playing the Palace, Davo, The Ghosts of Rose Hill, Recitatif
3 🌟: Dark and Shallow Lies, Witchlight

ravenlee The Konigsburg is one of my favorite books since childhood; it‘s one of my mom‘s too. She‘s been reading it with the grandkids over Skype the last three years, one kid at a time. 😍 - What‘s the Hibbert like? I haven‘t seen that one. 2y
thestarlesscasea @ravenlee yessss I had been putting off rereading it because I worried it wouldn't live up to my childhood memories as one of the books that most stuck with me, but it held up so well! I love the multigenerational appreciation of it in your family 😍 2y
thestarlesscasea @ravenlee I ended up really enjoying Wrapped Up in You! The female protagonist is badass but has been beaten down a bit by life, and the male protagonist is himbo-adjacent but thoughtful and interesting. I gave it 5 stars, then went on to read Merry Inkmas, which I barely gave 3 stars unfortunately. Can't win em all 😅 2y

Reader Harder Challenge 2021: Read a Middle Grade Mystery

While many read this book in grade or secondary school, I never had a pleasure. Enjoying it for the first time as an adult not old scared the beegeebees out if this Momma but was also fun! I so thankful they were never in any harm on their adventures but goodness the thought of it kept me on my toes and I read the book clear through in two sittings over my lunch break and split shift.

ravenlee I love this book. It‘s one of my mom‘s favorites. Actually, last year she started doing Skype reading sessions with my daughter and I believe this was the first or second book they read together. Glad you enjoyed it! 2y

This is a delightful read for kids (and adults) of any age. Creative, imaginative and inspiring. Wish I had had the imagination to have run to something when I was at these kids age. This is a delightful read for kids (and adults) of any age. Maybe, at my age it would be the adventure of my later years. It's a thought. The first thought is:
Where do I want to run away to? The second is who would I want to run with me?

“Claudia knew that she could never pull off an old-fashioned kind of running away. .... Therefore she decided that leaving her home would not just be running from someplace but to somewhere. To a large place, a comfortable place, an indoor place, and preferably a beautiful place. And that‘s why she decided upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC“

A simple, but cute & adventurous story. Claudia is the perfect angsty preteen & I loved the balance between herself & her brother. Reading about all of the displays & interesting items in the museum also makes me really want to visit and see it all for myself. The added aspect of Mrs. Frankweiler made things nicely tongue-in-cheek, provided a great addition to the point of view, & made the story have a little more levity. Great middle grade read.

Here is one bookcase in my parents‘ guest room, after I‘d already cleared out 15-20 books. The gray shoebox holds my 32-year-old baseball card collection. Some of the books were mine or my siblings‘, others date from my mom‘s childhood and a few from her mother‘s collection (which sounds nice but really isn‘t).

My parents‘ house is so overrun with stuff, but in a short visit all I could do was a little work with the books.

A remarkable story about a 12 year old girl on adventurous mission in which she ultimately learns about herself, some deeply kept secrets, family values, trust and understanding, and some interesting history along the way. “From the mixed-up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler“ by e.l. Konigsburg is a heart-warming novel that will captivate readers till the vary last page. This novel is also a two=time Newbery Medal Winner #UCFLAE3414f19

Tinks A must have for all elementary classrooms. This novel would be best under RF and maybe even HF due to it being set in the Metropolitan Arts Museum of New York City.

This classic story has stood the test of time and is a delight to read and re-read. Claudia and Jamie, siblings living in the northeast, decide to go on an adventure. Living on Jamie‘s winnings from cheating at the Card game War, they find themselves living at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Claudia and Jamie are refreshing and resourceful youngsters that not only survive on their own but encounter a mystery.
