About this listen

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 perspective of biracial sixth-graders June and Tyrell, two children living in a homeless shelter. As their friendship grows over a shared love of classical music, June and Tyrell confront a new housing policy that puts homeless families in danger.

It's June’s first day at Huey House, and as if losing her home weren’t enough, she also can’t bring her cherished viola inside. Before the accident last year, her dad saved tip money for a year to buy her viola, and she’s not about to give it up now. Tyrell has been at Huey House for three years and gives June a glimpse of the good things about living there: friendship, hot meals, and a classical musician next door. Can he and June work together to oppose the government, or will families be forced out of Huey House before they are ready?

I read this book for my book group, and it was amazing. I had a great time listening to it with my family on a vacation. It’s a very heartwarming story that will keep you entertained from beginning to end. However, I must admit that the voice acting can be a bit annoying at times.

Amazing story!

Lovely book that puts a face on homelessness that many families may not experience first hand. Gentle enough for my 8 year old but full of truth to be thought provoking for the teen and adults in the car. Family favorite-- the kids immediately asked to listen each time we got in the vehicle on pur trip. engaging, funny, thought-provoking and a happy ending make this a great choice!

If you love The Vanderbeekers you will enjoy this title.

My 9 year old son loved the story!! It’s not often homelessness is addressed in a middle grade novel. Well done!

Great story with a great ending!
