"Claudia Kincaid is almost twelve, the oldest of four children who live a comfortable suburban life with their parents in Connecticut. But Claudia is restless; she wants to do something exciting, such as run away and return home feeling that she is different. However, not just any place will do. Claudia likes her comforts. A place with a bit of luxury and some good company are what she has in mind. So, she stages her own secret live-in at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, and takes along her nine-year-old brother, Jamie. What happenes to Claudia and Jamie, and the changes that come about in this sister-brother duo prove greater than either had bargained for."
