A 2018 Pura Belpr Author Honor Book Save the restaurant. Save the town. Get the girl. Make Abuela proud. Can thirteen-year-old Arturo Zamora do it all or is he in for a BIG, EPIC FAIL? For Arturo, summertime in Miami means playing basketball until dark, sipping mango smoothies, and keeping cool under banyan trees. And maybe a few shifts as junior lunchtime dishwasher at Abuela's restaurant. Maybe. But this summer also includes Carmen, a poetry enthusiast who moves into Arturo's apartment complex and turns his stomach into a deep fryer. He almost doesn't notice the smarmy land developer who rolls into town and threatens to change it. Arturo refuses to let his family and community go down without a fight, and as he schemes with Carmen, Arturo discovers the power of poetry and protest through untold family stories and the work of Jos Mart . Funny and poignant, The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora is the vibrant story of a family, a striking portrait of a town, and one boy's quest to save both, perfect for fans of Rita Williams-Garcia.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Pablo CartayaPublisher: Viking Books for Young ReadersPublished: 05/16/2017ISBN: 9781101997239Pages: 256Weight: 0.85lbsSize: 8.40h x 5.90w x 1.00dAward: Pura Belpre Award - Honor BookReview Citations: School Library Journal 03/01/2017 pg. 123Booklist 04/01/2017 pg. 76Kirkus Reviews 03/15/2017 pg. 107Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 05/01/2017Publishers Weekly 05/15/2017Horn Book Magazine 07/01/2017 pg. 129Hornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2017 pg. 82 - Superior,Well Above AverageAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 190668 / Epic Fail of Arturo ZamoraReading Level: 5 / Interest Level: Middle Grade / Point Value: 7
