It has been over TWO DECADES since I've read this book, but when the title popped up on screen my eyes widened and a smile crept onto my face.

I remember reading and loving this book waaay back in elementary school! I remember reading how the older sister was methodic and planning, which reminded me a lot about myself. I remember the younger brother simply following. I also remember how the book went from a pair of runaways into something of a mystery. What did it start with? An emblem at the bottom of an angel statue. (If I remember correctly.)

Even as a child, it was a very fun and easy read.
