Good Book submitted by Cami K on August 30, 2013, 6:52pm I always thought it would be cool to stay over night in a museum and these kids actually do it.

Good Book submitted by kathscot on August 10, 2014, 11:01am Good book, good author. It is a fun fantasy to stay in a museum.

A personal fantasy submitted by valerieclaires on August 10, 2014, 1:11pm Who doesn't wish they could live inside a museum. Thus book fascinated me because while I only dreamed of staying over night in a museum, Claudia actually does. I first read this book in elementary school, but I'll always think of the scene sleeping in the big fancy bed when I think of this book.

fun for all ages submitted by camelsamba on August 17, 2015, 8:51pm Our family (boys ages 12 & 15, mom, dad) listened to this book on a recent trip, and it was a big hit with all. It is interesting to observe the relationship between Claudia and Jamie - their personalities are so different, yet they're able to appreciate those differences and work together. Claudia likes to plan and follow rules; Jamie likes complications and gambling. It also offers a few life lessons about enjoying the mysterious and unknown. And who hasn't looked at a fountain full of coins and thought about funding their next meal?

Excellent Book submitted by wysea on July 9, 2018, 10:41pm This book is so interesting and it makes you want to go to a museum. The kids are very believable and it's great how Jamie doesn't want to spend his money. It's fun to see how much stuff used to cost compared to now.
