Reader reviewed by Jo

After reading another book from this author that I was disappointed in, I decided to try one of her award-winning books instead. This is a cute little story of a brother and sister who run away from home and live in a museum for a week. While at the museum they become involved in solving the mystery of a new art piece. The mystery of the book is good, and the way these two kids survive the week, for example, bathing, eating, etc., is amusing. And I would have recommended this book to younger kids had it not been for a small part in the book when the author talks about a possibly drug-laced candy bar. I do not think 3rd and 4th grade children are quite ready for that. I will hold onto this book until the kids are older and maybe try it then
