The Vanderbeekers love their Harlem brownstone on 141st Street. They’ve lived there for as long as anyone can remember. So, when their Scrooge-like landlord, Beiderman, decides not to renew their lease, the Vanderbeekers are shocked! They can’t imagine living anywhere else. And if they can’t stay in their brownstone, they might even have to leave New York City altogether. But the five Vanderbeeker children have a plan – they’re going to prove to Beiderman just how wonderful their family is in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, he’ll let them stay. Your middle grade readers will delight in this story of family, heart, and community as they cheer on the Vanderbeekers in their attempt to save the only home they’ve ever known. Ages 8-12. 304pp.
