Sweet book I loved as a kid! Still enjoyed it today. I’m still impressed that Claudia and Jamie could hide in a museum for a week AND take care of themselves in NYC. Would definitely be harder to do in this era with all the surveillance…but a fun little book anyways. Also, as a parent I’d be terrified if my children ran away like this!
