The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora


















Arturo's family owns a Cuban restaurant on Miami and when an empty lot next door comes up for sale they put in a bid.  Unfortunately, a bid is also put in by a big land developer.  He wants to build a high rise with apartments, cafes, a gym, and more.  In addition, he needs the land that the restaurant is currently on.  Arturo and his family set out to fight the developer and prove that a family run business is better for the community.

This book had spunk and with the subplots of a crush and Arturo's relationship with his grandmother there was a lot of positives.  The negative though was the Spanish.  There were a lot of Spanish phrases and sentences and for students with no background (an no translations provided) they will be lost.  I don't think the Spanish is a make or break but it will be distracting to my readers.
