What is From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler about?

When Claudia Kincaid decides to run away, she chooses the most exciting hiding place imaginable: New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Taking her younger brother Jamie, she plans every detail carefully—especially how to live unnoticed among the paintings and statues. But museum life becomes more mysterious when the children discover a beautiful angel sculpture that may have been created by Michelangelo. Determined to uncover the truth, Claudia and Jamie follow clues, face unexpected dangers and learn surprising secrets about themselves and their family.
