Can thirteen-year-old Arturo Zamora do it all or is he in for a BIG, EPIC FAIL? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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 José Martí.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFunny and poignant, \u003ci\u003eThe Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Young Readers Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47018173464816,"sku":"9781101997253","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101997253_p0.jpg?v=1763690252","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101997253","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
