#bookaday A Hero’s Guide to Summer Vacation @pablocartaya.bsky.social Great bk abt Gonzalo, who loves drawing on IPad ,and his estranged grandfather, a famous author,taking a road trip to visit friends while they get to know each other.

@pablocartaya.bsky.social dives into the ways grief can manifest itself through a family. Gonzalo, his abuelo, and his mother are on their separate journeys until the paths combine in a vintage, powder blue Oldsmobile. Layered with Cuban history and fantasy. Really - just a triumph.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I made the @nytimes.com bestseller list at #5 😭

Happy #BookBirthday to award-winning author @pablocartaya.bsky.social's newest novel, A HERO'S GUIDE TO SUMMER VACATION! Reality proves more epic than fantasy in this family road trip story starring a reluctant young hero and his curmudgeonly grandfather.
