Title: One of My Favorites
Review: Winner of 1967 Newbery Medal. Konigsburg delights me in this excellent tween novel. Her writing is realistic and witty--often quite funny. She does a superb job on her characterizations of Claudia (12) and her brother Jamie (8) as they run away from home to hide out in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. (They sleep in the royal bed and wash in the fountain.) When a statue of an angel arrives, perhaps by Michelangelo (not even the experts are sure), Claudia makes it her job to discover the sculptor--and discovers much about herself along the way. A "must read" for tweens. I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Is the review positive or negative?
