Can thirteen-year-old Arturo Zamora do it all or is he in for a BIG, EPIC FAIL?

Book for intermediate children's. Chapter book but easy to follow. The main character works at his family restaurant when a developer comes into town and tries to take down his family restaurant to put in a shopping mall. Arturo must work with his friends to save the day.
good book for a school library for kids to read on their own time.

A 2018 Pura Belpré Author Honor Book, Pablo Cartaya delves into the heart of the gentrification debate, unveiling profound insights in his captivating and heartfelt debut novel. The novel follows the journey of a thirteen-year-old boy as he navigates his family's path in an ever-evolving world. This tale explores the essence of identity, our origins and the choices that shape our aspirations. As Arturo unravels the rich history of his Cuban American heritage, he not only gains a deeper understanding of himself but also emerges as a vital voice within his family and community. With his newfound confidence, Arturo spearheads discussions about the potential changes and growth of their neighborhood, leaving an indelible mark on the ongoing dialogue. (

This book is for middle school aged students. This is a story about a young boy Arturo, who is excited to relax all summer in his home of Miami, even if he has to work some shifts at his family's restaurant La Cocina as a dishwasher. However, some trouble comes into his plan fir a perfect summer when he discovers the plan of a new developer in town: to take over the property his familia has for their restaurant to turn it into a new development for the community. Arturo is horrified; he acan't let this new man take over the restaurant that is central to his family. He must stop it!
This book was a Pura Belpre honor book because of its illustration of the Latino experience in the United States and the cultural values that are portrayed with this story. It was such an engaging read and it was so interesting to hear about the intertwine of the Latino experience in this book told from the perspective of a young boy. I highly recommend this read for middle school students, on independent time.

I liked this story and the characters in it, but for some reason they never quite came off the page for me. It felt like I was hearing someone tell me about people they know instead of really meeting them myself. (

children's middlegrade fiction - 13 y.o. Arturo in Miami falls for a family friend visiting from Spain, tries to save his family restaurant from being demolished in favor of a fancy high-rise building.

Lots of family and community love in here, keep some tissues handy for sure. (

Citacions

Love is two spirits meeting, joining together, holding each other, helping raise each other from the earth. It is born in the journey of looking for each other, fed by the need to be together. It is incapable of ever breaking apart! Love is not a tempestuous sea; it is a calm river. It is not a bonfire but a quiet ember. It is not an abrupt end; it is peace.
