THE EPIC FAIL OF ARTURO ZAMORA, by Pablo Cartaya

The story: Save the restaurant. Take on Big Business. Get the girl. Make his grandma proud. Can 13-year-old Arturo Zamora do it all, or is he destined for an EPIC FAIL?

June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence G; Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse G; Magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; Adult themes (death of a grandparent, gentrification) PG; overall rating G.

Liz's comments: I thought this one was charming! Arturo loves his family and is trying to do the right thing even when it appears that fate is conspiring against all of them. He learns that standing up, even though it's hard, is the right thing to do--and that sometimes, even one person can effect the needed change. (It also has a couple of yummy-sounding recipes in the back, one of which I'm actually going to try.)
