The story is basically about these kids that wanted to make their neightbour, Mr jeet who lives on top of them feel better and they know how much Mr jeet and Mrs jeet loves gardens so they decided to transform a piece of land to like a garden paradise for them all to enjoy and I like it was a very good wholesome book and its like basically the book version of a show or a movie you might watch on like Disney channel or something and it's very wholesome. I think my favourite part is definitely when hyacinth mentioned anne of the green gables which is adapted into a Netflix show called Anne with an e which is such an amazing show too.

I love this series! My 10 year old likes it too. It's realistic without being too harsh. Being a gardener myself, I loved this plot.

The Vanderbeeker children are by far the sweetest kids I’ve come across in a long time. The personalities that each Vanderbeeker has is what makes this story so heartwarming and delightful. And that Laney! Such and enjoyable family, can’t wait for more Vanderbeeker adventures!
