12-year-old Emma decided run away from homes — from boredom and from injustice (still would, she after all was senior child in family, Yes to the same the only girl!), escape to where it is safe, beautiful and interesting: the Metropolitan Museum of art. Along with her went for adventures and younger brother Jimmy. It turned out that the night life of the Museum is no less exciting than the day-at a time when the subway is open to visitors. Emma and Jimmy sleep in a real Royal bed, swim in the pool, hide behind sculptures from the guards, and during the day mingle with groups of schoolchildren who came on a tour. And our heroes have to conduct a real investigation and find out who the author of the sculpture of an angel, which the Museum bought at auction for a ridiculous 225 dollars? Could it be Michelangelo himself? In an effort to solve the mystery, which failed eminent art historians, Emma and Jimmy find the former owner of the statue-Mrs. Frankweiler. And here begins the most fascinating: in the archives of this modest old woman is stored! This book, written in the mid-60s, immediately gained popularity among readers and critical acclaim. In 1967, the novel "From the archives of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the most confusing in the world" won the prestigious Newbery medal, the world's first literary award given to authors of the best books for children. E. L. Konigsburg has received this prestigious award three times. First for-book " From the archives of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the most confusing in the world."
