Summary: a humourous adventure read for any child
Review: What a wonderful book. Many years ago, our primary school librarian read this book to our class over weeks of library lessons. I felt that I owed her so much for sharing Claudia and James's adventure with us. We were enthralled. I remember wanting to be Claudia, so capable and in control of things. Visits to toilets in public galleries always hold a funny memory of Claudia and James, and museum fountains have become baths for runaway children.

Summary: I'm so glad find this book again
Review: I have fond memories of this book when I was a girl who was only peripherally interested in the gamemanship of pre adolescence. Empowering is a great word for it - and I dare say I planned my own running away episode with a little help from Claudia's ideas. But this shouldn't scare parents off from the book - it really is about much more!

Summary: Everyone's daughter should read this book.
Review: When I was eleven, we were read this book in class by a teacher who, ( for 1971 and today), was very enlightened indeed. I never forgot it. Recently, I searched bookstores the world over until I found it. My 12 year old daughter and 13 year old son read it and felt the same sense of (dare I say it) empowerment I felt. We can all gain from the idea that we can do anything and that older people in our lives mean so much, even if we don't see it, even if those older people lived forty or four hundred years ago. Unconsciously it might have inspired me to do what I wanted to do and not what society expected me to do, and to use resources in the most sensible way. But probably not, it was just such a fun read! The true test of children's literature-how many generations will enjoy this book?? Plenty I'll bet -- don't miss it!
