From School Library Journal
Gr 3–5—Glaser's pitch-perfect debut novel set in Harlem introduces the endearing biracial Vanderbeeker family. Twins Isa and Jessie, along with siblings Oliver, Hyacinth, and Laney (ranging from ages four-and-three-quarters to 12), plus a dog, a cat, a bunny, and their parents, all live together in a brownstone on 141st Street. Unfortunately, cantankerous landlord Mr. Biederman refuses to renew the lease. They have the five days before Christmas to change his mind or they will have to move out of the only home they have ever known. Each child has a plan and a distinct personality to match; the neighbors and friends all do, too. Glaser's detailed line drawings of the block's brownstones emphasize that this book is not just about one family; rather, it encompasses the stories of an interconnected community. Jessie creates a Rube Goldberg contraption that makes music while watering the building garden. Elderly Miss Josie and Mr. Jeet live above the Vanderbeekers and count on their support. A school dance, sibling rivalry, and preparing just the right gifts for Christmas are all subplots that Glaser deftly uses as a tool to both develop the characters and engage readers in the family's entertaining daily chaos. Glaser's love for the Vanderbeekers shines through in her prose and stick drawings. Readers will look forward to future adventures. VERDICT A highly recommended purchase for all middle grade collections. Fans of Sydney Taylor and Jeanne Birdsall are sure to be satisfied by this contemporary urban update of the family-centered novel.—Eva Thaler-Sroussi, Glencoe Public Library, IL

★ "Glaser’s love for the Vanderbeekers shines through in her prose and stick drawings. Readers will look forward to future adventures. A highly recommended purchase for all middle grade collections." —School Library Journal, starred review ★ "Few [families] in children’s literature are as engaging or amusing as the Vanderbeekers." —Booklist, starred review "...[Karina Yan Glaser’s] contemporary family narrative preserves the winsome tone and innocence of the aforementioned classics while updating them with a rich, modern diversity of characters, settings and problems....Glaser’s warmhearted story highlights a cold truth: What is often missing in the busy lives of today’s plugged-in, checked-out families is a sense of community. In the vast village of New York City, she suggests, what it takes to raise a child can still be found on one square block." —The New York Times Book Review "A heartwarming story about family and community that will appeal to readers who also enjoy an old-fashioned feel." —Kirkus "With rich dialogue and detailed descriptions of the neighborhood, the text provides a humorous and heartwarming story about siblings uniting to save their home. Through the Vanderbeekers, Glaser provides a portrait of the splendors of Harlem and the sense of community that can be built among neighbors of all backgrounds. . . This will draw fans of rollicking family stories, and while it’s centered on Christmas, it would be enjoyable any time of the year." —Bulletin ". . . Uplifting. . . Readers who enjoy a cheery story that’s simultaneously old-fashioned and of the moment in its sensibility will enjoy this introduction to the Vanderbeekers and look forward to their future adventures." —Publishers Weekly "Glaser’s third-person narration weaves individual characters’ plot threads and a palpable sense of place through the larger family story in the tradition of Jeanne Birdsall, Sydney Taylor, Elizabeth Enright, and Hilary McKay." —Horn Book “The Vanderbeekers join the Melendys, the Cassons, and the ‘All of a Kind’ Family on my list of favorite book-families. I’m in love with every single Vanderbeeker! Their story is utterly enchanting: I did not want it to end. More, please?” —Linda Sue Park, Newbery medalist

One of my new all-time favorites. For readers who loved The Penderwicks and All-of-a-Kind-Family. I can't WAIT To see what this author writes next!
I lived on Amsterdam Ave., between 141 and 142 Streets from five to 10 years old (60+ years ago). This book brought back many memories of my early childhood. City College, The Convent Avenue Baptist Church, and P.S.192, were part of my life. I was not fortunate enough to live in those beautiful brownstones but, still remember trying to imagine what life could be like if I lived behind those doors. I wanted to share this experience with my grandson and appreciate the map included.Thank you, Karina Yan Glaser
This is the kind of heartwarming story that you want to jump inside and become a part of the community. Ms. Glaser has made me believe that the Vanderbeekers must truly exist somewhere.When the Vanderbeekers receive notice that they have to move out of their beloved New York apartment right after Christmas, the children take action. They decide to befriend the mysterious and curmudgeonly landlord, Mr. Beiderman, in hopes of inspiring him with a change of heart.What I loved so much about this story is the sense of community that is tangible. Everyone wants to live in a neighborhood like this one. But even more, it is the reminder that streets like 141st Street don't just happen. It takes action. It takes looking beyond first appearances. And it takes loving people who might truly seem unlovable. Our world could use a few more stories like this one.
I ordered this in February for the Middle Grade at Heart newsletter book club, but saved it, knowing that it was exactly my favorite kind of book and wanting to read it when I really needed it. That moment came this week. A couple of different things combined to make for a really stressful start to the week, and more than anything I needed to be able to dive into a book was comforting and sweet. I've always loved middle grade family adventures, and many of the classic and modern families from these books have become dear friends. From the minute I saw promotion for this book last year, I knew that it was when I was going to love, and I was not disappointed. VANDERBEEKERS is like a warm cup of tea in book form: sweet, soothing, and utterly enjoyable, the kind of thing that can't help but restore some of your faith in humanity. I loved it so much I immediately went out and pre-ordered the sequel, which is not something I do very often! Karina Yan Glaser utterly captures the old fashioned feel of the large Vanderbeeker family and their equally heartwarming and madcap adventures, managing to make the story feel perfectly classic but also modern and fresh. The Vanderbeeker are definitely going in that special place in my heart along with families like the Melendys, the Penderwicks, the Fletchers, and all of the classic middle grade families I discovered in my childhood.
Charming is the word that comes to mind when I think about this tween novel. Set in Harlem, the Vanderbeekers' lease is not being renewed to the brownstone they have lived in for years. The five children are upset about this news and set about devising a plan to change their landlord's mind. Having never seen the landlord, Mr. Beiderman, over the years they have lived there, he has grown in their imagination a someone who is larger than life. Although the plot is a bit predictable, this book is so fun and would make a great read-aloud. I would enjoy checking in on the Vanderbeekers in the future.
Open Book Reviews by Megan Schmelzerwww.openbookreviews.orgI read this book over my winter break, and it was absolutely the perfect timing. Karina Yan Glaser’s novel, The Vanderbeekrs of 141st Street, takes place entirely during the week before Christmas. You feel the gearing up for the holidays taking place in the setting of this story, especially the nostalgia that we all feel for our childhood homes during the holidays. The nostalgia runs deep for the Vanderbeeker children, and now that is all suddenly at risk to be coming to an end.The Vanderbeekers are losing their family home, or the bottom floor of their apartment building. They have just been given notice that their landlord, the old, grumpy Mr. Biederman, has refused to allow the Vanderbeekers the opportunity to renew their lease. The Vanderbeeker children are devastated at the thought of leaving their Harlem neighborhood, and they hatch a plan to convince grumpy Mr. Biederman to let their family stay.All five of the Vanderbeeker children join forces and add their individual spins, talents, and personalities to the efforts to win over Mr. Biederman. Naturally, things go all wrong for the children, and their sweet efforts to help save their home may actually be adding fuel to Mr. Biederman’s desire to have them gone for good. However, like true holiday books, the spirit of home, holidays, and families may just prevail in the long run.
