The kids are baffled- they’ve been trying so hard to be as quiet as possible! The kids decide that they can’t possible leave their home, especially after their parents say they might have to leave Harlem altogether. Right before Christmas, their landlord decides not to renew their lease with no explanation. The Vanderbeekers are a family of 7 (Dad, Mom, 4 sisters, and 1 lone brother… bless his heart) who live in a brownstone in Harlem with their various pets. I am always on the lookout for good middle grade Christmas books and this one proved to be an excellent one.
And all is fair in love and war when it comes to keeping their home. 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. It’s practically another member of the family. The Vanderbeekers have always lived in the brownstone on 141st Street.
