The Who- A smart, curious young heroine who appreciates art. Her funny, clever, younger brother.
The Where- The Met!
The What- A mystery, an investigation, an intersting old woman, a great sibling relationsip, and a lot of discovery about others and self.
Does it get any better than that?
I don't care how old I get, or how old this book gets... To me, it will always be one of the best children's books ever written! ...more

A book I look forward to reading with my kids. I loved this book--very different from so many of the books out there when I read it (5th grade-ish, I think). Kept you wanting to hear more about these characters.
I just reread this one (picked it up from the library). Just as good as it was back then. What a relief!!

One of my absolutely favorite books growing up. Who hasn't wanted to run away? And who hasn't wanted to spend the night in a museum?

Wasn't as good as I remembered it as a kid, but still enjoyed it. So did my 8-year-old.
