'A work of genius' Katherine Rundell 'A small miracle... the ultimate escape fantasy' The Times Twelve-year-old Claudia Kincaid, straight-A student, has had enough of being good. She decides to run away, but it must be to somewhere beautiful - so she and her little brother Jamie (with the cash he won playing cards) sneak off to live in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. There they sleep in a bed owned by a queen and bathe in a fountain with bronze dolphins. Most exciting of all, investigating a mysterious angel sets them on the trail of an eccentric old lady and a life-changing discovery. E. L. Konigsburg's award-winning bestseller, loved by generations of children, is a magical story about beauty, adventure and the incomparable delight of having a secret. Part of the new Pushkin Children's Classics series of thrilling, magical and inspiring stories from around the world, which young readers will return to time and again. The writer and illustrator E. L. Konigsburg (1930-2013) is one of the most celebrated writers of books for children and young adults. She is the only author to have won the Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor in the same year - a feat she achieved in 1968, for The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler and Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth, respectively. Not only that, but she won the Newbery Medal again almost thirty years later, for The View from Saturday.

wonderful
This book is a wonderful read for adults and children. As a mature adult it awoke the sense of adventure I had as a child, and maybe still have as an adult. I have sent it on to my grandchildren a girl age 9 and boy age 7. I hope they don't test the adventure in reality though.
A real classic. everyone should read it.

EXCELLENT READ
A great read for all ages, this is the story of a young girl who runs away from home with her little brother and lives in a museum. One of the most creative and entertaining books I have ever read in my life, I was enthralled to learn the logistics of life in a museum after hours. I loved this book.
