Suggest me a well-known book (ideally a children’s book, *though not necessarily*) that became profoundly meaningful to you in a completely different way as you revisited it throughout different stages of your life.
I’m especially interested in books that revealed deeper emotional, philosophical, or existential meaning the older you got and the more life you experienced.

It’s about a young, smart, headstrong girl who escapes suburbia for New York City, thinking she’s proving something “important” to her parents, ends up with an uninvited guest to take care of, her younger brother (partly why she escapes in the first place), sleeps in the Met, solves a mystery, and explores the extraordinary – for a brief time – on her own, ultimately seeing that the world available to her, even in her own current life, is so large that what had seemed so important was actually nothing at all, and certainly nothing that could hold her back.
