Youth Fiction - 4 starsThis book club selection for the 6th grade crowd was very provocative. Claudia and Jamie, a brother and sister pair, run away from their home in Greenwich and travel to city to hide out for a little while in order to come back "different." Although their journey does not take them far, it is full of mystery and adventure. Written in 1967, the references to prices for items and travel make me yearn for those times, as does reference to a time when two children could travel the streets of New York safely. I really enjoyed the book, as did Megan, and we can't wait for the next Mother/Daughter book club meeting to discuss it!
