After hearing about The Vanderbeekers of 141 St on Twitter about a million times, I thought it was time to finally read the book! I loved the book and am so glad that it is the first in a trilogy. The Vanderbeekers of 141 St live in a brownstone in NYC. The  Vanderbeekers have 5 children-4 girls and a boy. They love where they live until one day, they get a notice that they have to move out in about a week. Their landlord that owns the building is not renewing their lease and the children do what they can to stay. They do several funny things to get the landlord ( The Biederman)  on their good side so they can don't have to leave. In doing the  many things to stay, they find out some sad things about their landlord. I really liked this book, and I think Christie readers will too.
