This is a charming chapter book that plays as straight-forward childhood escapism for much of the time. But the penultimate chapter includes a couple of lovely insightful observations about life. Plus, I very much enjoyed how well the author brought 1967 to life. Lots of little details that reminded me of my youth.
Well that was completely perfect and I can't believe I've never read it before.
Go on an adventure in a museum!
Claudia and Jamie are off on a grand adventure. They have run away from home and are living in New York City in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They have a grand time, until the money starts to run out, and then they have to think of something else. But in the meantime, they are trying to solve the mystery of the Angel statue.
Delightful read for kids and adults alike!
Weird and fun at the same time. The reasons they ran away was kinda dull tho... the museum mystery was cool and kinda predictable. Mrs. Basil was odd...
