The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street by Karina Yan Glaser
5.0

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.⁣

I adored this middle grade book! I haven’t read many middle grade books and I will definitely read more. The illustrations in the book were beautiful and added so much to the book. I flew through this book and already requested the others in the series from the library. I enjoyed the siblings working together and the setting was so great.
