Read this for the first time in awhile. It holds up tbh though I relate to the kid less than I used to but also she’s like 12 so duh. Again made me want to live in every museum.
Surely I read this book as a child, didn't I? Very glad that I have read it now. Delightful story of two runaways who choose to hideout at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Not sure I would have appreciated what that meant as a child but now that I've been there a couple of times, I love the idea. What fun would it be to roam through there at night.

I really really enjoyed this kids book. The vocabulary is quite out of date, I don't know if many kids now will understand some of this, but for what's essential to the story it's fun and makes me really want to see the Met again.
