The Newbery Challenge: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Friday, November 2, 2012
Happy Newbery Day! Mr. Colby Sharp and I are reading EVERY SINGLE NEWBERY MEDAL WINNER (sorry, I got excited) in order.  Today we're discussing From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. 

I have three questions for you: 

1. Do you remember where you were the first time you read it? 

2. What's your favorite scene? 

3. When do you recommend it to young readers? 



Visit Colby's blog to watch his video. 



Please don't watch this video if you haven't read the book.

Travis Jonker created the cover on the right. Nice work, sir!
