Book Description:
When Claudia decided to run away, she planned very carefully She would be gone just long enough to teach her parents a lesson in Claudia appreciation. And she would live in comfort-at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She invited her brother Jamie to go, too, mostly because he was a miser and would have money
The two took up residence in the museum right on schedule. But once the fun of settling in was over, Claudia had two unexpected problems: She felt just the same, and she wanted to feel different; and she found a statue at the museum so beautiful she could not go home until she had discovered its maker, a question that baffled even the experts. The former owner of the statue was Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler And without her help Claudia might never have found a way to go home.

Kristina P. (Another fun Newbery Award Winner. I love reading these Award winning novels because they are so good. A couple of curious kids in a museum...very fun!
Jessica K. (Appropriate as a read aloud for young children and an independent read for middle school aged and up. I read it as an adult and enjoyed it!
One of my favorites as a child, I recently re-read it as an adult and it was still just as good!
