The humorous and touching story of two Greenwich, Connecticut children named Claudia and Jamie Kincaid, who decide to run away from home and live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They stash their clothes in their music cases, bathe in the Museum’s fountain to collect change, and eat food from the vending machines. The two siblings stumble upon the mystery of “Angel,” a Renaissance statue, a mystery that leads them to discover the answer in the files of the statue’s eclectic patron, Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
