"Carlos Gomez: Rise of the Trashcan Zombies" is the captivating second book in the Carlos Gomez series by Chuck Gonzales, beautifully illustrated by the talented Chuck Gonzales.
Months have passed since Carlos's triumphant performance at the BMX expo, and life is taking a new twist. A vibrant Latino family has recently arrived in town, bringing exciting opportunities for friendship and cultural exchange. But things aren't all smooth sailing for our hero. Carlos's best friend, RJ, appears to be drifting towards the soccer team, leaving Carlos to navigate new friendships and challenges on his own.
If that weren't enough, the formidable Mrs. Wynkle has coerced Carlos into taking on the director's role for the school's upcoming spring play. Teaming up with his co-director, Mark, they embark on an ambitious mission to create the most thrilling and unforgettable school play the community has ever witnessed. Yet, as the creative sparks fly, Carlos and Mark find themselves at odds, testing their collaborative spirit and pushing their friendship to the limit.
With opening night fast approaching, Carlos must find a way to balance his burgeoning friendships, confront old bullies, and guide an entire cast of zombies to the grand stage-all while keeping his ego in check. The spotlight of directorship beckons, but can Carlos remain true to himself amidst the chaos of his teenage life?
"Carlos Gomez: Rise of the Trashcan Zombies" is a charming coming-of-age tale that explores the essence of friendship, growth, and the challenges of adolescence. Join Carlos on his journey as he navigates new connections, overcomes personal obstacles, and strives to shine as a director, all with a generous dose of humor and heart.
