This is a low pick for me, which is on me not the book. The book is excellent. I appreciate how the language and tone shift from pov to pov inside of the stories, and each tenant is a full person. I think I just needed more depth at the moment. Some of these stories are only 10-15 pages and while you get a feel for each person you also feel like a lot of their story is missing.
Overall though this is excellently constructed.

The end of an era 🥹 My daughter and I have loved all of the time we spent with the Vanderbeekers this year. We‘re sad to say goodbye. Highly recommend this series.

tpixie What age/ grade are these geared towards? 1mo
MaureenMc @tpixie They‘re middle grade, so generally age 8-12. I love all of them, as did my daughter (just turned 13). 1mo
tpixie Ok! Thanks! 1mo

I wish I had this book in Elementary school! I didn't know some of the places talked about in this book!

...Can you imagine the interesting and important things people talked about in this building on Edgecombe Avenue“

1. I love both, but would probably go with spots if forced to choose.

2. My daughter & I are doing a read-aloud of the tagged book, which we borrowed from the library. ❤️ the Vanderbeekers ~ we‘re sad it‘s the final book in this series.

Harlem | Walter Dean Myers, Terry Deary

This is a great story to teach children about different cultures or to represent their own culture.

“Harlem was a promise of a better life, of a place where a man didn‘t have to know his place simply because he was black.”

This book paints the picture of how Harlem became what it is today. The author does a wonderful job highlighting cultures that make up one of the most culturally diverse cities in America.

This book would be good for my kids to experience diversity and see how other cultures live and what they go through! I would definitely read this with them!
