The Runaways
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler was one of my favorite books when I was young. The story stands the test of time, and I found it just as enjoyable to read as an adult. Tonight, I explore the relevance of this tale of two siblings who run away from home and go to live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
