From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg
Where would you go if you ran away from home? How about the Metroploitan Museum of Art? I know that's where I'd go! And that's where Claudia, our fearless, albeit bored, protaganist goes. With her kid brother in tow she secretly breaches museum security and embarks on the journey of her life. I'm an artist, so the idea of going behind the velvet ropes of the Met intrigues me. And what could be more intriguing than the mysterious angel statue they encounter at that great museum. Is it a Michelangelo -- or a clever fake? Only one person knows. And Claudia will do anything to find out.
