from the back cover:
"When Claudia decided to run away, she planned very carefully. she would be gone just long enough to teach her parents a lesson in Claudia appreciation. And she would live in comfort - at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She invited her brother Jamie to go, too, mostly becuase he was a miser and would have money.

The two took up residence in the museum right on schedule. But once the fun of settling in was over, Claudia and two unexpected problems: She felt just the same, and wanted to feel different; and she found a statue at the museum so beautiful she could not go home until she had discovered its maker, a question that baffled even the experts. The former owner of the statue was Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. And without her help Claudia might never have found a way to go home."

Look for the book on the bench in the foyer of the Fredericton Medical Clinic on Regent Street.
