When suburban Claudia Kincaid decides to run away, she knows she doesn't just want to run from somewhere she wants to run to somewhere--to a place that is comfortable, beautiful, and preferably elegant. She chooses the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Knowing that her younger brother, Jamie, has money and thus can help her with the serious cash flow problem she invites him along. Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie, find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue that the museum purchased at an auction for a bargain price of $250. The statue is possibly an early work of the Renaissance master Michelangelo, and therefore worth millions. Is it? Or isn't it? Claudia is determined to find out. This quest leads Claudia to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the remarkable old woman who sold the statue and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself.
"I mean the difference is not enough. Like being born with perfect pitch, or being born very ordinary and then winning the Congressional Medal of Honoror getting an Academy Award.Those are differences that will last a lifetime. Finding out about Angel will be that kind of difference."
“I think you're different already,Claude.”
"Do you?" she asked. She was smiling and her yes were modestly lowered, ready for a compliment.”
“Yes. We're all sane,and you're insane.'” (查看原文)

非常可爱的一本童书，讲了一对住在纽约郊区的姐弟，离家出走到大都会博物馆住了一周的冒险故事。是之前在「普通读者」播客听到的推荐。

中文版书名翻译为《天使雕像》，小时候看了好多遍。小姐弟俩机灵又可爱，探险经历也让人羡慕不已。 最近偶然发现了英文版有声书，听的时候情节历历在目。喜马拉雅听书链接：http://xima.tv/EuvK6w 。读书的是位老阿姨（因为POV就是Mrs. F）。美式英语，生动幽默。 --2019年第1本

学到了，学到了。想要变得与众不同嘛？在心里藏一个秘密吧。

纽伯瑞的书向来有质量保证，就是书本身的质量差了点。这本书在简书更完就把简书卸载了。以后最多在网页版写写书评。太费内耗了，没那么多时间浪费在一个论坛平台上。 书意外得精彩。虽然纸张的确不咋地，改成五颗星。推荐此书。
