A 2018 Pura Belpr Author Honor Book Save 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 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 Jos Mart . Funny and poignant, The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora 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.Binding Type: Hardcover

Make sure you're not allergic to latex
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
This pillow is so soft and bouncy! After using it for a couple of nights, I felt that it wasn't high enough for me, as I'm a side sleeper. So I started using it with another thin pillow underneath it. That worked fine and I was happy with it until I started developing itchy skin on my neck, scalp and ears! Now, to be fair, this isn't the pillow's fault! I just didn't know I was allergic to latex! I unfortunately had to return it.

Not recommended, not great quality.
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1, Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
Very disappointed after reading decent reviews. The pillow itself doesn't have a a well defined shape and is VERY SOFT AND MARSHMALLOW-ish. The pillow cover is cotton knit and isn't thin but doesn't help the pillow to keep its shape. It's approximately 5.5 to 6 inches high.

The Best

So comfortable. I love it. It’s firm and holds its shape, yet it cradles your head, and its soft. It’s wonderful.
