SOLVED. 2 kids hide in a bus, sleep at a museum [s]

[Leslie]

Hi. I am trying to think of a title of a book I read when I was a kid.

These 2 kids (brother and sister?) somehow hid in their school bus after it's already left the other kids at school, and they get to the museum and start living there.

I don't remember why, or how it ends, but I remember it being a good story... any one else remember this story?

It certainly sounds like From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler.

This book makes the top ten list of books for kids. It's smart, funny, thoughtful, and never condescending. This could certainly be your book.

Yeah, it sounds like the book, The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, by E.L. Konigsburg. It's about a brother and sister who decide to live in the Metropolitan Museum, and they try to solve a mystery about an angel statue........ Sound familiar maybe? Anyways, hope this helps!

Moving this to unsolved. Don't know how that was missed.

Hopefully, Leslie will return soon to confirm that this is solved. Thanks, everybody.

Yup! That was it From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler. Thanks everyone!
