Quick Write - Prediction for "The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

    I have read the book already, so I'm going to write the summary of the book...
Claudia, a girl who lives in Greenwich, New York, feels that she has been mistreated in her family. She thinks that her parents give her all the work while her brothers just play around and do nothing, so she decided to runaway. She chose her brother, Jamie to go with her, because Jamie is "rich". Jamie saves all his money and cheats his friend, Bruce at poker to win some money. Jamie rarely spends any money, so he is very rich (in Claudia's point of view). The kids ran away to hideout in New York's famous museum, the Metropolitan Museum. While they were hiding (living) in the museum, they found a beautiful statue of an angel. The angel's sculptor is still a mystery to the public and both the kids are determined to find out who the sculptor of Angel is. They then went to find Mrs. Frankweiler, who was the one that sold the statue, and finally found out the truth of Angel.
