He's an observer, quietly snapshotting landscapes and drawing the creatures he imagines emerging from them. Forced to spend the summer with his estranged grandfather, Alberto William García--the very famous reclusive author--Gonzalo doesn't expect to learn that heroes and monsters are not only the stuff of fantasy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut that's precisely what happens when Gonzalo's CEO mother, Veronica, sends Alberto on tour to promote the final book in his fantasy series for children and Gonzalo must tag along, even though he feels no connection to his grandfather or the books. Together, they embark on a cross-country road trip from Mendocino to Miami in a classic 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S convertible named Mathilde. Over the course of ten epic days on the highway, they will slay demons, real and imagined; confront old stories to write new ones; and learn what it truly means to show up for your family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pablo Cartaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kokila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451479761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e555469 \/ Hero's Guide to Summer Vacation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePablo Cartaya is a sought-after speaker, actor, educator, and the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eThe Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora, Marcus Vega Doesn't Speak Spanish\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEach Tiny Spark\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Beekeeper\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCurveball\u003c\/i\u003e.
