I loved everything about this Newberry Award winning story published in 1967. My 12-year-old self, heck my 32-year-old self could totally relate to Claudia, that need to feel just a little bit different on the inside from everybody else. I loved the banter between Claudia and Jamie and it was true to my own older sister/younger brother dynamic growing up. I loved Mrs. Frankweiler's spark. And, I especially loved the lesson of listening to what's inside you.
