Happy holidays, friends! Thanksgiving (and other things) got in the way of our regular release schedule last week. We hope this recap of From the Mixed Up Files of Basil E. Frankweiler (1967) will help us make it up to you. Look out, though: this is another one where we get all sappy. Can you blame us? E.L. Konigsberg wrote a Newbery Medal-winner, here!

Other topics of discussion: dressing appropriately and comfortably for the Thanksgiving feast, Sonny Bono's career-high appearance on The Love Boat, and totally unnecessary lab coats.

Next time: The Baby-Sitters Club #4: Mary Anne Saves the Day (1987), by Ann M. Martin.
