(2) 4-6 The biracial Vanderbeeker family loves its close-knit Harlem neighborhood, minus grouchy, misanthropic landlord Mr. Beiderman. When "the Beiderman" announces he wants the family out by New Year's, the five siblings decide to give their parents the "Best Christmas Present Ever" by making him change his mind. Glaser's third-person narration weaves a palpable sense of place through the larger family story.
