FROM THE COVER

Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away ...so she decided to run not from but to somewhere --somewhere large, warm, comfortable, and beautiful. And that was how Claudia and her brother, Jamie, ended up living in the Metropolitan Museum of Art --and right in the middle of a mystery that made headlines.
