E.L. Konigsburg penned several books for young readers, including "From the Mixed up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler". The book features the story of two siblings hiding away at the Metropolitan Museum of Art over night in order to solve a mystery! Today, the MET features a special map at the museum information counter, that allows fans of Konigsburg's book to follow in the footsteps of protagonists, Claudia and Jamie.
"From the Mixed up Files..." won Konigsburg a Newbery award, which was followed up 29 years later with a second Newbury for "A View from Saturday".
She will live on forever within the pages of her books!
