notesbynnenna 's review for:

The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street by Karina Yan Glaser

4.0

Awww, what a sweet, middle-grade holiday read. I loved the Vanderbeeker family (seriously, those kids are adorable). I also loved that this was set in Harlem and liked reading about the tight-knit community that the Vanderbeekers were a part of. And I thought the little illustrations sprinkled throughout the book were delightful. This was a very enjoyable read with a lot of heart, and one that I would definitely recommend for younger readers.
