Living in a Museum

Hey, everybody!
Today I'll be reviewing the book 'From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.'
The book starts off by describing the main character, Claudia's, life, and how bored she is of it. She decides to run away, taking her younger brother Jamie with her.
They end up living in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, where they discover a mystery just waiting to be solved by them.
Each detail is described beautifully, making it drag, yet making it all the more interesting. You could even learn a bit about the Renaissance and the Metropolitan Museum of Art!
 And then there are Jamie's and Claudia's own problems. How long can they stay undercover in the museum? How will they get their basic needs if they run out of money? How do they earn money? And, importantly, how do they solve the mystery?
Don't be fooled by the name of the book, because it's a really great book, which is why it won a prize!
You guys should seriously try it out, because I think it's an awesome book!
Till next time, goodbye!
