    What two kids wouldn’t run away to an art museum?! This book used to give me wild dreams of running away to New York where I would have my pick of museums to live in. Some of these one star reviews make me so baffled, but this one just made me laugh.

    I agree with Nocturnals! I would have LOVED to have read this book as a young girl! Thankfully I found it as an older ‘girl’ and LOVED it! I always find the perfect student to recommend it to. Usually the oldest in the family, someone quiet, or someone I know is looking for an escape.
