On his last day of sixth grade, Alberto Chavarría hears his teacher tell the class that, in secondary school, they will have to act like adults. During the sweltering months of 2004—which seem to drag on endlessly in a child's mind—everything in the young boy's life and that of his family is set to change while they spend the summer at a bungalow campsite next to La Fama, the exclusive residential development where everyone longs to belong. These two opposing worlds form the backdrop for a coming-of-age story that evolves alongside its protagonist. Seen entirely through the eyes of Chava—who changes both his name and his circle of friends amidst the beaches and his own sea of ​​uncertainties—the narrative unfolds as a game in which the reader is privy to the characters' many hidden secrets. With a fresh, breezy style reminiscent of Andrea Abreu or Manuel Jabois, Jodar—a finalist for the Las Yubartas Hispano-American Narrative Prize—crafts a story where humor and tenderness give way to a subtle social critique, addressing issues of classism and the fragility of family ties.
