Karina Yan Glaser, illustrated by Karina Yan Glaser

Five siblings in a large family live on a welcoming block in Harlem with friends, neighbors, and extended family nearby.

They create a plan to save the place where they live, while facing the mystery of their curmudgeonly landlord. Pencil sketches appear throughout the novel, and the endpapers include a map.
