Summary of Book:
This book is about a little girl named Claudia who decides to run away from home with her little brother. They end up staying at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they become obsessed in uncovering mysteries and facts about the pieces of art there. They discover so much about art that they didn't previously know. I would love to read this book to my class before a trip to the museum. It would be fun to come up with a scavenger hunt that would allow them to feel like the kids in the book that discovered more every day that they were at the museum. This book is fiction, but it is very informative.
