The Vanderbeekers are back! It’s summertime and Isa is at music camp. The rest of the family is bored, so they go upstairs to visit Miss Josie and Mr. Jeet. While they are there, Mr. Jeet gets very sick. Jessie calls 911 and Oliver runs for their Mom. Mr. Jeet goes to the hospital, and they learn he had a stroke and is very sick. The Vanderbeekers decide that they need to come up with a project to cheer up Mr. Jeet and Miss Josie, so they can come home soon. Next door is a vacant lot, can the Vanderbeekers transform it into a garden for Mr. Jeet and Miss Josie?
