The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street

Consider this NYT Notable Children’s Book of 2017 as full of heart as it is old-fashioned, good-times family fun. After inhaling the Vanderbeekers’ Harlem adventures in their efforts to save their beloved brownstone from a curmudgeonly landlord, you’ll be glad to know that this early chapter book is the first in the series.
