The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora

A 2018Â Pura BelprÃ© 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?Â

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 Abuelaâ€™s restaurant. Maybe. But this summer also includes Carmen, a poetry enthusiast who moves into Arturoâ€™s apartment complex and turns his stomach into a deep fryer. He almost doesnâ€™t notice the smarmy land developer who rolls into town and threatens to change it.Â 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 JosÃ© MartÃ.

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.
