From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwieler by E.L. Konigsburg

1968 Newbery Medal

Claudia and Jamie have run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Jamie's money (that has been won by cheating in games of War against his best friend, Bruce) is all they have for food and other things. When everyone is trying to find out if Angel (a statue) was made by Michelangelo, Claudia and Jamie end up with two things, a new knowledge about the Angel, and a new friend.

Not the best book I have read but it had a good description of the art museum.

2 stars - It was a good book.
