Summary
Nothing beats summertime in Miami. For Arturo, this means playing basketball until dark, sipping mango smoothies, and keeping cool under banyan trees. And maybe a few shifts as junior lunchtime dishwasher at Abuela2s restaurant. Maybe. But this summer feels different when a cute girl named Carmen moves into Arturo2s apartment complex, turning his stomach into a deep fryer. Arturo almost doesn2t notice the smarmy land developer who rolls into town and threatens to change it. What the town needs are new businesses, he says, not twenty-year-old restaurants. Arturo refuses to let his family and community go down without a fight. And as he schemes with Carmen to take down the developer, Arturo discovers the power of poetry and protest through untold family stories and the work of Jose Marti
