Book Overview

From New York Times best-selling author Karina Yan Glaser comes one of Times' Notable Children's Books of 2017: "In this delightful and heartwarming throwback to the big-family novels of yesteryear, a large biracial family might lose their beloved brownstone home, but win it back with an all-out charm offensive."

The Vanderbeekers have always lived in the brownstone on 141st Street. It's practically another member of the family...

An Absolute Delight!

My mom got this book from the library for Christmas one year and I found it, picked it up and started reading it. And let me tell you I could not put it down! This book is utterly charming and an absolute delight. The Vanderbeekers live in their beloved brownstone in Harlem, New York. And with only a couple days till Christmas their grumpy landlord decides not to renew their lease. It's a race against time as the children devise a plan to get their landlord to like them so that he will renew their lease. The whole atmosphere of this book is charming. I love the Vanderbeekers relationship with each other and their community in Harlem. This is a wonderful book to read for the holiday season, and just like getting a breath of fresh air, or a warm hug:)

Wonderful rambling book. Reminiscent of the old large family-kids-adventure novels of the past. But, with a new twist, diversity. I love the characters and their backgrounds. It breathes new life into a fun story.
