Rating: Summary: a humourous adventure read for any child Review: What a wonderful book. Many years ago, our primary school librarian read this book to our class over weeks of library lessons. I felt that I owed her so much for sharing Claudia and James's adventure with us. We were enthralled. I remember wanting to be Claudia, so capable and in control of things. Visits to toilets in public galleries always hold a funny memory of Claudia and James, and museum fountains have become baths for runaway children.

Rating: Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!! Review: This is one of my all time favorite books, and I've read PLENTY of books! It has a twinge of mystery and it makes you want to run away and inbark on a daring adventure.
Rating: Summary: I'm so glad find this book again Review: I have fond memories of this book when I was a girl who was only peripherally interested in the gamemanship of pre adolescence. Empowering is a great word for it - and I dare say I planned my own running away episode with a little help from Claudia's ideas. But this shouldn't scare parents off from the book - it really is about much more!
