From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg

Twelve year old Claudia, with her younger brother in tow, runs away from home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to live. The two adapt to their new situation and find a mystery to solve that will lead them home again.

The author captures the voice of the oldest child and the sleights felt. Who didn't wish to crawl into a bed at a museum and just sleep there?
