This book is about two people who are the same age as me. The girl in the book, Claudia, runs away because she wants to find something different about herself. Her brother Jamie comes with her because he has a lot of money.

I recommend this book because it would be cool to live in a museum.

Fall 2003

When Claudia decides to run away from home, she plans very carefully.  She is going to run away long enough, so that her parents will appreciate her more.  She has everything planned, right down to staying at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and inviting her brother Jamie to go with her because he has so much money.  When they get to the museum, things do not turn out as they had planned.  Follow these two as they have a full-length adventure as they discover the Italian Renaissance!

I would rate this book a nine because there are only a couple of spots where the book gets somewhat boring.  This book is great because I really enjoy adventure novels and it ranks as one of the best books I have ever read.  I hope you get a chance to read this fabulous book!
