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

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

By E.L. Konigsburg

E. L. Konigsburg is one of my favorite authors. This story was about one girl named Claudia, and one boy named Jamie. They decide to run away from their house because they think their parents were too bossy to them. They decide to run away to the Metropolitan Museum, which was kind of weird in my personal way. It was amazing how they didn't get noticed in the beginning, but at the end, they get to a newspaper and got caught from their parent's notice to to the FBI. I love this book. Out of 100, I would give this book 100.

City of Orphans

City of Orphans

By Avi

Back in 1890s, there is two children, their names are, Maks Geless, the 13-years-old and one girl who just saved Maks` life from the gang called, Plug Uglies Gang, her name is Waddah "Willa" Brunswick. Many months before Maks met Willa, her father, Mr. Brunswick left her, after Willa`s mother`s death, so I think that Willa and Mr. Brunswick are father and daughter for each other. The name of Waddah is from Germany, then when Willa moved to U.S. her name is changed to the name of Willa. Maks` sister, Emma, was arrested, taken to the jail, because some rich man, (possibly Mr. Brunswick) accused her of stealing the watch, for which Emma didn`t, so, the Geless family relied on Maks and Willa about solving the mystery of Emma`s arrest. Maks and Willa met an detective, Mr. Donock, who is almost deaf, was gravely ill but he did teach Maks how to be a boy detective. There`s a gang what is called "Plug Uglies Gang", its leader, Bruno, and his gang was after the "newsie" (the newspaper kids). Then in the ending, the two men, Bruno and Mr. Brunswick was killed, Bruno shot and killed Mr. Brunswick and Mr. Packwood (Mr. Donock`s detective friend) shot and killed Bruno, in the hotel what called, Waldorf Hotel. This book shows the readers about 1890s and the children having to work, to earn some money for their families. I rate this 5 stars and I will totally recommend this book!

Echo

Echo

By Pam Munoz Ryan, Pam Muñoz Ryan

Echo is a magical and heartwarming book about a story of Friedrich in Germany, Mike in Pennsylvania, and Ivy in California. Each have a turn to play an enchanted harmonica, which solves a puzzling quest of a Prophecy, a Promise, and a Harmonica. Even before the Harmonica ever reached the children, Otto the Messenger meets the three lost sister—Eins, Zwei, and Drei who were banished into the woods where the sun sets, and rises, but time never passes. To free the sisters, a harmonica travels from hand to hand, passed first by Otto when the time is right. By doing so, this unlocks a curse that is set upon the sisters: "A Messenger brought you about. One-and-the-same must bring you out. You may not leave in earthly form. Your spirits to a woodwind born. YOU save a soul from Death's dark door, or here you'll languish, evermore." Decades later during WW2, Friedrich finds the Harmonica which brings light in his life and goes on a dangerous journey to rescue his father. The Harmonica then travels into Mike's hands as he does his best to keep his brother with him. Finally, the Harmonica lands in California where Ivy tries to hold her family together. The Harmonica sparks hope for each child, and frees the three lost sisters, led by a Prophecy. "Your Fate is not yet sealed. Even in the darkest night, a Star will shine, a Bell will chime, a Path will be revealed." Friedrich, Mike, and Ivy comes together in a unified orchestra where they lie under the same stars, connected by the same silken thread of destiny, with their own suspenseful stories that converges into an orchestral crescendo.
