Gum Spring Library

Meeting Room C

Read children's literature from an adult's perspective.

Discuss The Vanderbeekers and the Hidden Garden by Karina Yan Glaser. 

When catastrophe strikes their beloved upstairs neighbors, the Vanderbeeker children set out to build the best, most magical healing garden in Harlem—in spite of a locked fence, thistles, trash, and the conflicting plans of a wealthy real estate developer.
