Very mild — Claudia's feelings of being unappreciated drive the story gently
What this book is about
Claudia Kincaid, feeling unappreciated at home, runs away with her brother Jamie — not to the streets, but to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they secretly live among the art. When they discover a mystery surrounding a beautiful statue that might be a Michelangelo, their adventure becomes something much richer than just hiding out. A beloved children's classic that makes museums magical.
