This book is about a little girl who wants to be special. Claudia and her little brother run away from home and hole up in the Metropolitan Museum of Art where Claudia finds a mystery to solve. She thinks if she can prove Michelangelo sculpted a particular statue she'll be able to go home. There's more on my blog. This was one of my favorites when I was a child,
