Sal and Gabi Break the Universe

Sal is in the principal's office again, and it's the third time this week, but it isn't his fault this time.  Yasmany picked a fight with him.  Sal has to defend himself or end up the butt of everyone's jokes.

Sal prides himself on his magic skills, but it wasn't sleight of hand that put that raw chicken in Yasmany's locker.  Yasmany should be the bad guy here, but Gabi, student council president herself, is defending him.  None of that really matters because Sal knows he isn't going to get in trouble.

When the chicken mysteriously disappears, Gabi realizes something is going on.  What's more, she believes Sal when he tells her he can manipulate time and space to pull objects for other universes into their own.  Maybe Sal is finally going to have some real friends.

This talent isn't all fun and games.  When Sal gets upset, he sometimes accidentally conjures his dead mother from another universe, and she's different every time.  This can make things awkward for his dad and stepmother.  But the even bigger problem is Sal may actually be destroying the universe with the chaos particles created when he conjures things.  Can Sal and Gabi figure it out before it's too late?

This is another fun entry under the Rick Riordan presents imprint.  Carlos Hernandez's novel featuring the multiverse is a winner.  Recommended!
