Claudia made a thorough strategy before deciding to flee. She would be gone for just long enough to make her parents realize how much she valued Claudia. She would reside in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so she would travel in luxury. She invited her brother Jamie, who was a miser and would have money, even if she was saving her own money.
Due to Claudia's adept planning skills and Jamie's creative ideas, the two moved into the museum precisely on time. However, when the excitement of moving in was past, Claudia encountered two unforeseen issues: She wanted to feel different, but she felt the same way. At the Museum, she saw a statue that was so exquisite that she was unable to leave until she had learned who had made it—a mystery that even the experts could not agree upon.
Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler was the statue's previous owner. Without her—well, Claudia may not have been able to return home at all.
