The Vanderbeekers have always lived in the brownstone on 141st Street. It's practically another member of the family. So when their reclusive, curmudgeonly landlord decides not to renew their lease, the five siblings have 11 days to do whatever it takes 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. A modern classic in the making reminiscent of the Penderwicks series.

Listener Favorite
"Most compelling narration ever."
"Compelling story with vibrant characters and lots to learn about this world. I especially appreciate the prickly strong protagonist, best complex female character I’ve come across. Any woman over 40 especially will resonate with her attitude and strength. Stories weave seamlessly shifting back and forth with perfect timing. In the tradition of revolutionary stories in which protagonists come into their power and insight slowly. In the tradition of science fiction with complex worlds to learn. Above all an homage to Octavia Butler, who writes science fiction better than anyone ever. This story lacks the depth of driving questions that Butler brings to her work and for that reason is a lighter read. On the other hand, Jemisin goes where Butler didn’t/wouldn’t in terms of race and sexuality, which makes it a story for today’s conversations. But the narrator. The narrator! She bring such character to the whole of it, communicating all the emotion across so many characters. The best I’ve ever heard. A great adventure story with so much room for the next two books. You really can’t go wrong."
More About Robin Miles
Miles, who’d been acting on and off Broadway and on TV, got her start in audio by working with the American Foundation for the Blind, where she recorded fiction, nonfiction, and poetry—after getting rejected at first and tweaking her style to suit. She’s had several Audie nominations since, winning as part of large cast recordings such as In the Embers, which won Best Audio Drama for 2017, and for her direction of Roots in 2007. She’s been drawn to women’s stories, often those of women of color and often ones with emotional and devastating themes, which she says can often affect her during the process.
Early on in her career, Miles recorded her first horror title, The Good House by Tananarive Due. That experience, with relatable characters and accessible accents, made her realize that she was a perfect fit for horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. Of her time working on the audio, Miles says,
That book won me many fans and was a springboard to titles by astounding Caribbean futurists Nalo Hopkinson (Midnight Robber), Karen Lord (The Best of All Possible Worlds), and Tobias Buckell (the Xenowealth series), speculative fiction & fantasy writers that bring exciting modern elements to classic world building.
