Besprekingen
The View from Saturday door E. L. Konigsburg
I didn't like the sarcastic nature of all the characters in this book. I don't disagree that 6th graders may be sarcastic, but reading a book aloud to them that models it for them isn't what I'd like to do as a teacher. I won't be reading this book to the class or placing it in my classroom library. They can find it at the public library if they so wish.
What fun to read this again after nearly 40 years!
I remembered a few good sections and the exchange of characters leading each other back and forth,
but the ending in The Files was a true surprise.
(Just wish that, even in 1967, Mrs. Basil had moved to a happy smaller home and given away her money to poor folks.)

A mildly amusing story of a preteen who runs away to New York City, and takes her younger brother with her. I never felt a connection with the children, and didn't wonder how their adventure was going to end.
