Reviews

"THE VANDERBEEKERS TO THE RESCUE is almost a case study in why these kinds of series are so captivating for young readers: Above all, while the happy ending might be a foregone conclusion, there is great satisfaction in seeing how their favorite characters untangle the knot this time." -- The New York Times Book Review

"Glaser ticks all the boxes of a classic middle-grade ensemble piece....funny, with character-grounded quirkiness, just enough slapstick, and no winking over kids' heads....The whole thing is a little retro, very welcoming to the reader, and sweet to the core." -- Horn Book Magazine

"Glaser manages the large cast of characters with ease.... A satisfying addition to the Vanderbeeker series." -- Booklist
