Today’s blog review features Middle Grade Fiction finalist The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora by Pablo Cartaya. Round 2 judge Greg Pattridge reviewed this one a while back–Greg is a teacher, mentor and writer from Colorado who reviews middle grade books at his blog, Always in the Middle.
The story is both heartwarming and funny, but most of all it shows an MG book can succeed without bullies or divorce. You’ll want to hug this family.
