samantharosereads 's review for:
The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street
by Karina Yan Glaser
I absolutely adored this story. It's up there with the best MG I've ever read. The story is funny and tender and absolutely hilarious. The writing is fantastic. As I was reading, I kept thinking how much opportunity there is for vocabulary growth because it did a great job of incorporating complex words with excellent context clues. The narration was wonderful. I'd definitely add this to a middle school library if you haven't already!
