Fiction Family Life
When suburban Claudia Kincaid decides to run away, she knows
she doesn't just want to run from somewhere she wants
to run to somewhere--to a place that is comfortable,
beautiful, and preferably elegant. She chooses the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Knowing that
her younger brother, Jamie, has money and thus can help her
with the serious cash flow problem she invites him along.
Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie,
find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue
that the museum purchased at an auction for a bargain price
of $250. The statue is possibly an early work of the
Renaissance master Michelangelo, and therefore worth
millions. Is it? Or isn't it? Claudia is determined to find
out. This quest leads Claudia to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler,
the remarkable old woman who sold the statue and to some
equally remarkable discoveries about herself.
