This book was very amazing. It was quite a light read as I finished it in a few hours. The story is about the Vanderbeekers who are a biracial family that consists of the parents, five kids Isa, Jessie, Oliver, Hyacinth, and Laney, and their three pets. They are told that they have to leave their home in Harlem 141st street in which they lived 6 years and love soo much. They plan to change their loan keepers Mr. Beiderman's mind so he can let them stay. The story was very well written and I highly recommend it...
Sooo cute! I wish I could have read this one to my kids when they were younger. The ending got me big time, there were tears!!
I just love this family! The kids are taking time to recognize all the great things in their neighborhood. They are trying to good mostly and learning to love people. This is a sweet book and I'm so glad there are more in the series.
So lovable and charming!
After seeing a lot of rave reviews for this one (and being disappointed by the last MG book I read with similar reviews), I was skeptical about The Vanderbeekers. But I was delightfully hooked just a few minutes into this audiobook, and by the end, I was crying (both because the book was so touching and because I found out what the last book in this series is about).
I'm sure I would have loved this series in elementary school, but I also feel like I appreciate it so much right now as an adult. The themes of family, community, and individualism hit just as hard as I would have liked, and I just... let's just say I have plans to read the rest of the series very soon. I'm delighted to know that MG books like this are out there.
(Also, yes, some of the ending was a little unrealistic, but I felt it was perfectly excusable for a middle grade book. Young readers will probably feel that what happened made sense, and the dramatic effect of that whole plotline worked in my eyes.)
