sal and gabi break the universe by carlos hernandez

His persistent humor and his ability to break the mould of standard emotional and irrational teenagers, make Sal the type of kid anyone can like. Sal is one of the funniest main characters I have met in a long time. This is a story about family, how Sal’s family moves on in grief and how Gabi’s family deals with the illness of the youngest member, Ignacio. Sal & Gabi Break the Universe is not just about space time continuum and alternate universes. Sal and Gabi see this hole and work to repair it. The early prank he play’s on Yasmany has ripped a hole in the universe.

With Sal’s ability, he is the cause of his own problems. Sal & Gabi Break the Universe does not have an imminent world ending threat or evil villain in the story. Together they will be able to solve the biggest problems caused by Sal’s ability.Ĭarlos Hernandez has brought a fresh new story to the Rick Riordan Presents banner. Gabi is the one who sees through the showmanship that Sal projects, and they form an instant friendship. This talent allows him to enhance his reputation as a magician, but also brings attention to himself. Sal is a master magician who can punch holes in the universe and summon items from different multiverses. He enrolls at Culeco Academy of the Arts where he meets the editor of the school newspaper, Gabi Real, and a bully named Yasmany, who could use a friend like Sal. Sal is looking to start a new life and get a fresh start at school. Papi takes a job in Miami to study his son’s special ability, and hopefully stop this magical interdimensional power. The family moves to Miami so that everyone can have a fresh start. Sal has even summoned his mother from a parallel universe many times. Sal and his father, Papi, move with his step mom which he calls American Stepmom, to Miami because Sal’s ability to punch holes in the universe and access parallel worlds has caused problems for the family. The book features a thirteen-year-old protagonist named Sal Vidon who has recently moved to Miami from Connecticut after the death of his mother. Following in the footsteps of past offerings from the Rick Riordan Presents banner, Sal & Gabi Break the Universe continues the now successful tradition of offering diverse cultural stories for middle school readers. Carlos Hernandez’s latest book Sal & Gabi Break the Universe is a flat out laugh riot from the first word to the last.
