christenhammons 's review for:
The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street
by Karina Yan Glaser
"It takes a super brave person to be as generous as you are, Hyacinth. Not many people are brave enough to be so loving."
The Vanderbeekers have always lived in their brownstone on 141st Street. When their mysterious and recluse landlord decides not to renew their lease, the five siblings join together to convince him to change his mind by showing him just how wonderful they are. The only problem? They only have 11 days.
This book is just delightful. I use that term a lot, but when I use it, I mean it. I had seen a lot of praise for this little story and so I was slightly nervous that I might not like it as much as everyone else, but I did. This unique family of seven captured my heart immediately, as well as the cast of characters that surrounded them.
