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.

Super Soft & Great for Sensitive Skin
Pattern Name: 50 count (1 pack of 50 ct)
I’ve been using Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL and I’m really impressed. The towels are very soft and feel gentle on my skin, which is important because I can be a little sensitive.I like that they’re disposable, so I know I’m using a clean towel every time. It just feels more hygienic than reusing the same washcloth, especially for my face. I’ve been using them for drying my face and also for removing makeup, and they hold up really well without falling apart.They’re a nice size too, so you can use one towel for everything without needing more than one.The only downside is they are disposable, so you do go through them—but for me, the cleanliness and convenience make it worth it.Overall, I would definitely buy these again

I use these cotton rounds every single day, and they’ve become a staple in my skincare routine. They’re soft, gentle on the skin, and work perfectly for removing makeup or applying toner.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, affordable cotton rounds!They’re gentle enough for sensitive skin and work great for all my skincare steps.

Last a while
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
Work well and have lasted me more than six months. They do get pulled apart easily so sometimes wiping your face leaves the cotton fuzzies

Soft, Durable, and So Much Better Than Cotton Balls
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
These cotton pads have been such a simple but huge upgrade to my routine. For years I used regular cotton balls or even toilet paper for skincare and makeup removal, so I wasn’t expecting these to make that much of a difference. After seeing them on Amazon, I decided to give them a try, and now I don’t want to go back. They are incredibly soft and gentle on my skin, especially around my eyes. I mainly use them for applying toner and removing eye makeup, and they work perfectly for both. They don’t fall apart, leave lint behind, or soak up tons of product like regular cotton balls do. The size is perfect too — large enough to be useful without wasting product. One thing that really surprised me is how well they work for removing nail polish. I can usually remove polish from all ten nails with just one cotton pad, which definitely helps them last longer. Overall, these feel much more high quality than standard cotton balls, and they’ve made my skincare routine easier and less messy.
