Twelve-year-old Claudia Kincaid decides to do something that will demonstrate her value in the family—she’s running away. But it must be someplace comfortable—she’s not into roughing it. She takes her nine-year-old brother Jamie along not for his company but for his bankroll. She plans and plots. And it’s off to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art when they become involved in a mystery involving the Angel which may or may not be by Michelangelo. A delightful humorous story of real and likeable characters.

This is one of my favorite children's books and I couldn't help but think about it when I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art a couple of years ago. What a perfect place to runaway to!
