Claudia settles on living at the New York City Metropolitan Museum of Art. She invites her younger rother Jamie to come along too, not for companionship, but mostly because he is a miser and has saved up some money. Unfortunately, the live-in at the museum isn't all Claudia had hoped. She doesn't feel any different than before. And soon she finds herself in the middle of an interesting museum mystery. Claudia sees a statue so beautiful that she cannot head back to Connecticut until she discovers its maker. The first clue is the statue's former owner, Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, an unusual old woman who helps Claudia finally find her way home.
