A HERO'S GUIDE TO SUMMER VACATION

by | Read by Pablo Cartaya

Children Ages 8+ • 5.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2025

In Pablo Cartaya's latest audiobook, 13-year-old Gonzalo goes on a cross-country road trip with his estranged grandfather, an author, and listeners are lucky enough to ride along. Cartaya takes the recurring role of "Your Most Humble Narrator" to provide background and context about the reluctant Gonzalez. He's mourning the death of his father and resenting his mother for making him spend his summer with this grandfather he doesn't really know. Cartaya also provides unique voices for Gonzalez himself, his grandfather, and the surprising secondary characters they meet on the road. Gonzalez can be moody, friendly, or impatient, and Cartaya gives each emotion a voice. His grandfather's unfriendly voice gradually warms as they slowly find connections and build a relationship.
