Summary: Running away from home isn't such a good idea
Review: This book is about a sister and brother, Claudia and Jamie Kincaid. They live in a house with their older brother,Steve. In the house Claudia does most of the work, Jamie does a little and Steve does none. One day Claudia got fed up with doing all the work and chose Jamie as her partner, and they ran away from home. They end up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and so the adventure begins.
This book is written for ages 8 - 12.
I do not recommend this book if you re going to read it alone. It is better to read it with other people, like your classmates, because there are boring parts, although I learned a lot about about the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Michaelangelo Bonarati. Also, I learned running away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art isn't such a good idea.

Summary: Inspiration for The Royal Tenenbaums?
Review: I loved this book as a kid, and I suspect it was also an inspiration for the recent Wes Anderson film The Royal Tenenbaums. In the film's prologue, a young brother and sister run away to the New York Public Archives and live there for a week, sleeping in the hollow base beneath a big taxidermied animal. The film also had the magical, beautiful view of Manhattan that I got as a kid reading this book. Curious stuff! Both book and film are wonderful.

Summary: My Favorite Book--30 years Later
Review: I read this book in the fourth grade. I never forgot it. I couldn't remember the title and looked for it to read again for several years. When I finally found it I was thrilled. I've since had my son read it and it is one of his favorites. My daughter is now in the fourth grade and reading it (I'm reading it along with her) and we're both enjoying it immensely. This is one no child should miss. I'll always be grateful to my elementary school librarian for recommending it.
