  <description><![CDATA[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 her younger brother Jamie has money and thus can help her with a serious cash-flow problem, she invites him along.<br/>Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue that the museum purchased at auction for a bargain price of $225. The statue is possibly an early work of the Renaissance master, Michelangelo, and therefore worth millions. Is it? Or isn’t it? <br/>Claudia is determined to find out. Her quest leads her to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the remarkable old woman who sold the statue, and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[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 her younger brother Jamie has money and thus can help her with a serious cash-flow problem, she invites him along.<br/>Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue that the museum purchased at auction for a bargain price of $225. The statue is possibly an early work of the Renaissance master, Michelangelo, and therefore worth millions. Is it? Or isn’t it? <br/>Claudia is determined to find out. Her quest leads her to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the remarkable old woman who sold the statue, and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself.]]>

    <![CDATA[After reading this book, I guarantee that you will never visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (or any wonderful, old cavern of a museum) without sneaking into the bathrooms to look for Claudia and her brother Jamie. They're standing on the toilets, still, hiding until the museum closes and their adventure begins. Such is the impact of timeless novels... they never leave us. <br/><em>E. L. Konigsburg</em> won the 1967 Newbery Medal for this tale of how Claudia and her brother run away to the museum in order to teach their parents a lesson. Little do they know that mystery awaits!]]>

    <![CDATA[Ketika Claudia memutuskan untuk kabur, dia merencanakannya dengan sangat hati-hati. Dia akan pergi cukup lama untuk memberi pelajaran kepada orangtuanya agar menghargainya. Dan dia akan pergi dengan nyaman. Dia akan tinggal di Museum Seni Metropolitan, New York. Dia menabung uangnya, dan mengajak adik laki-lakinya Jamie.<br/>Claudia adalah perencana yang baik dan Jamie juga memiliki beberapa ide; maka keduanya tinggal di museum tepat seperti waktu yang direncanakan. Tapi begitu kesenangan mendiami tempat itu sudah berlalu, Claudia memiliki dua masalah yang tak terduga: Dia merasa sama saja seperti sebelumnya dan dia kepingin merasa berbeda; dan dia menganggap sebuah patung di Museum begitu indah sehingga dia tak bisa pulang sebelum menemukan siapa pemahatnya, pertanyaan yang membuat para ahli juga kebingungan.<br/>Sebelumnya patung itu dimiliki oleh Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Tanpa dirinya - yah, tanpa dia, Claudia mungkin takkan pernah bisa menemukan jalan untuk pulang.<br/>Selama 35 tahun kisah karya <em>E.L. Koningsburg</em> ini telah membuat pembaca segala usia terpesona. Edisi spesial ulang tahun ini menyertakan penutup baru dari sang pengarang, beserta beberapa kejutan ekstra untuk menyenangkan pembaca lama maupun baru.]]>

    <![CDATA[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 her younger brother Jamie has money and thus can help her with a serious cash-flow problem, she invites him along.<br/>Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue that the museum purchased at auction for a bargain price of $225. The statue is possibly an early work of the Renaissance master, Michelangelo, and therefore worth millions. Is it? Or isn’t it? <br/>Claudia is determined to find out. Her quest leads her to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the remarkable old woman who sold the statue, and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself.]]>
