(2) 4-6 We catch up with the biracial family from The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street in summertime. After an emergency sends elderly neighbor Mr. Jeet to the hospital, the children decide to make a community garden as a surprise for him. While mentions of cellphones and Minecraft set the book solidly in the present, the independence of the children and the goodness and support of their Harlem community provide a timeless sensibility.
