From the New York Times best-selling creator of the Vanderbeekers
series comes a triumphant tale of friendship, healing, and the
power of believing in ourselves, told from the perspectives of two
biracial sixth graders living in a homeless shelter. At first, June
can’t believe it: their new home is a homeless shelter? When
she’s told she can’t bring her cherished viola inside, she’s
convinced the worst luck in the world landed her at Huey House. But
Tyrell has lived at Huey House for three years, and he knows all
the good things about it: friendship, hot meals, and the music from
next door drifting through the windows. With his help, June begins
to see things differently. Just as she’s starting to understand
how Huey House can be a home, a new government policy threatens all
the residents. Can June and Tyrell work together to find a way to
save Huey House as they know it?
The Vanderbeekers have always lived in the brownstone on 141st

to stay in their beloved home and convince the dreaded Beiderman
just how wonderful they are. And all is fair in love and war when
it comes to keeping their home.

start when the car breaks down on their way to pick up Papa. But

change their family? And how can she and her other siblings stop
them? Exploring themes of leaving home, embracing change, and the
