Publisher Description Salvar el restaurante. Salvar la ciudad. Conseguir a la chica. Hacer sentir orgullosa a su abuela. ¿Puede Arturo Zamora, de trece años, hacerlo todo o está por enfrentarse a un ÉPICO FRACASO? Para Arturo, el verano en Miami significa jugar a baloncesto hasta el anochecer, beber batidos de mango y mantenerse fresco bajo la sombra de los árboles. Y tal vez también hacer algÚn turno como lavaplatos en el restaurante de su abuela. Tal vez. Pero este verano también incluye a Carmen, una chica que ama la poesía y que se muda a los apartamentos de Arturo y que convierte su estómago en una freidora. Hasta el punto de que casi no se da cuenta del promotor inmobiliario que llega a la ciudad y amenaza con cambiarla. Arturo se niega a dejar que su familia y su comunidad caigan sin luchar, y mientras trama un plan de acción con Carmen, Arturo descubre el poder de la poesía y la protesta a través de historias familiares y de los textos de José Martí. Divertido y conmovedor, El épico fracaso de Arturo Zamora es la vibrante historia de una familia y el sorprendente retrato de una ciudad; y de la determinación de un niño por salvar a ambas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor BookSave 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 Abuelas restaurant. Maybe. But this summer also includes Carmen, a poetry enthusiast who moves into Arturos apartment complex and turns his stomach into a deep fryer. He almost doesnt 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 José Martí.Funny and poignant, The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora is the vibrant story of a family, a striking portrait of a town, and one boys quest to save both, perfect for fans of Rita Williams-Garcia. Author Biography Pablo Cartaya siempre ha sido un romántico sin remedio. En la escuela media, amaba leer los sonetos de Shakespeare (¡no se lo digas a nadie!), y una vez uso toda su mesada para comprar rosas para la niña que le gustaba. También le escribió ocho poemas. No muy buenos. Pero desde entonces, ha sido escritor. Pablo ha trabajado en restaurantes cubanos y también en la industria del entretenimiento, y obtuvo su MFA en la Vermont College of Fine Arts. Todas estas experiencias le han ayudado a escribir historias que son un reflejo de su familia, su cultura y su amor por las palabras. Pablo vive en Miami con su esposa y sus dos hijos, rodeados de tías, tíos, primos, y personas a quienes él llama primos (pero que realmente no lo son).
