Synopsis

The Vanderbeekers have always lived in the brownstone on 141st Street. It's practically another member of the family. So when their reclusive, curmudgeonly landlord decides not to renew their lease, the five siblings have eleven days to do whatever it takes to stay in their beloved home and convince the dreaded Beiderman just how wonderful they are. And all is fair in love and war when it comes to keeping their home. A modern classic in the making reminiscent of the Penderwicks series, The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street is about the connections we make and the unexpected turns life can take.

I feel mean giving this book such a low rating as everyone else loves this book and my goodreads friend who recommended this to us shares many books we both absolutely love but we really didn't enjoy this at all. We liked the cover artwork although there is a floor missing on the Vanderbeeker's house......more

My mom just finished reading this aloud to us all at my recommendation. Everyone from my dad to my youngest sister enjoyed our journey through the book.

Re-read 2021. Original Review: A sweet little book but not quite as amazing as I thought it would be - although I must say the cover art and interior formatting are all that one could desire. It was a little difficult at points to keep the children straight, and I felt that the authoress would have b......more
