A family business in the balance

Set during spring break in Harlem, the third Vanderbeekers book puts the siblings’ plans alongside a family crisis: their mother’s bakery is threatened with closure after a visit from city officials. Isa, Oliver, Laney, Jess, and Hyacinth each have their own activities underway, but the bakery’s situation brings them together around a shared problem. Baking and family life anchor the story, with the neighborhood setting and the children’s cooperation shaping its central conflict. The setup connects everyday spring-break pursuits with the stakes of keeping a small family business open.

For the Vanderbeeker kids of Harlem's 141st Street, spring break couldn't be off to a better start. Isa's back from band camp, Oliver's building his first-ever treehouse in the backyard of the brownstone, and Laney, Jess, and Hyacinth are excited to help their mother when she gets the once-in-a-lifetime chance to star in a cooking magazine.

But the Vanderbeekers' plans go off the rails when an unexpected visit from city officials puts their mother's bakery in jeopardy. Now they'll have to band together to save the day before they're out of business.
