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. The New York Times bestselling Vanderbeekers series is perfect for fans of the Penderwicks. As ALA Booklist commented in a starred review: “Few families in children’s literature are as engaging or amusing as the Vanderbeekers, even in times of turmoil.” The series includes: The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street The Vanderbeekers and the Hidden Garden The Vanderbeekers to the Rescue The Vanderbeekers Lost and Found The Vanderbeekers Make a Wish The Vanderbeekers on the Road The Vanderbeekers Ever After Review: So worth it! - This is normally not my cup of tea. I’m a heavy romance reader (30f) but my 10 yo cousin begged our family to be in a book club with her and this was the first book. And WHAT A BOOK it was! This tale was so sweet and uplifting! There were even parts I shed actual tears. A story of love and loss written so phenomenally well that parts of me wish I had read it so long ago but know that as an adult it hits so much harder. I seriously recommend this book for your child but also that you spend the time to read it with them. The perfect book to read as a family! Review: A Heart-Warming Read - A great find for readers who are looking to relax and be entertained by a story that depicts how stories should always end. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,642 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Children's City Life Books #17 in Children's Christmas Books (Books) #26 in Children's Travel Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,616 Reviews | ## Images ![The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street: An NYT Bestselling Novel About Family and Home for Children (Ages 8–12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VTwW4C4IL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So worth it! *by L***X on June 27, 2026* This is normally not my cup of tea.

The perfect book to read as a family! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Heart-Warming Read *by A***R on July 3, 2026* A great find for readers who are looking to relax and be entertained by a story that depicts how stories should always end. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartwarming family story *by T***J on April 9, 2018* There is so much to love about The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street, everything from the setting to the characters and the storyline were just wonderful. First off is the setting of Harlem with all of these fun detailed descriptions of the brownstone and surrounding shops and landmarks, the darling black and white illustrations by the author for the layout of the ground floor apartment, an illustration of where the other residents of the building live and full-page map of Harlem on the front inside cover. And look at that cover, utterly gorgeous, the colors just pop. The Vanderbeekers are a large family that includes two parents, five siblings, a dog, a cat and even a bunny, together they bring all the joyous sounds of a bustling household with siblings who love and care about one another. Each of the children is delightful on their own and so individually realized and unique. There's even an extended family made of friends, relatives, and neighbors with lovely interactions between the Vanderbeeker children and their friends that appear in natural ways, with everything from the mailman who while dropping off the mail gets homemade dog treats from Hyacinth, Oliver and his best friend Jimmy who talk on their walkie talkie's, the upstairs neighbors Miss Josie and Mr. Jeet who visit with young Laney and even Isa's music teacher Mr. Van Hooten, who together give this book a warm, comfy feeling of both community and family. Not to mention there is a side story between one of the twins and Benny, whose mom owns the local bakery and a bit of a mix-up over an upcoming dance. Plus food, glorious food references making me want to try the hot chocolate with cayenne and cinnamon that was mentioned. I really love how the Vanderbeeker siblings are trying to win over their curmudgeonly landlord by drawing on their individual strengths in writing poetry, drawing, crafting, music, and kindness toward animals to make gifts for the Beiderman in hopes he would see how valuable they were and renew their lease. Their plans to smoother him with kindness don't always go as planned, but they aren't easily discouraged and they do make a lovely team. I was really touched when the reason Mr. Beiderman hasn't left his apartment was revealed, and how the children realized that "home is more than a place" and that what they really wanted is for Mr. Beiderman to feel better.
