The Vanderbeekers to the Rescue
ByPublisher Description
Harlem’s favorite family returns in the third installment in the Vanderbeerkers series! In The Vanderbeekers to the Rescue, the Vanderbeeker kids find themselves racing to save their mother’s baking business from city closure.
For the Vanderbeeker kids of Harlem’s 141st Street, spring break couldn’t be off to a better start. Isa’s back from band camp, Oliver’s building his first-ever treehouse in the backyard of the brownstone, and Laney, Jess, and Hyacinth are excited to help their mother when she gets the once-in-a-lifetime chance to star in a cooking magazine.
But the Vanderbeekers’ plans go off the rails when an unexpected visit from city officials puts their mother’s bakery in jeopardy. Now they’ll have to band together to save the day before they’re out of business.

“The Vanderbeekers is such a sweet series. Out of the three I have read, this one lacked a little, but it was still a heartwarming tale. I love middle grade stories about kids recognizing their strengths and working with others to accomplish something great, and that is what all of these are. Forever a favorite in our house!”About Karina Yan Glaser
