How
did
a
raw
chicken
get
inside
Yasmany's
locker?
When
Sal
Vidon
meets
Gabi
Real
for
the
first
time,
it
isn't
under
the
best
of
circumstances.
Sal
is
in
the
principal's
office
for
the
third
time
in
three
days,
and
it's
still
the
first
week
of
school.
Gabi,
student
council
president
and
editor
of
the
school
paper,
is
there
to
support
her
friend
Yasmany,
who
just
picked
a
fight
with
Sal.
She
is
determined
to
prove
that
somehow,
Sal
planted
a
raw
chicken
in
Yasmany's
locker,
even
though
nobody
saw
him
do
it
and
the
bloody
poultry
has
since
mysteriously
disappeared.
Sal
prides
himself
on
being
an
excellent
magician,
but
for
this
sleight
of
hand,
he
relied
on
a
talent
no
one
would
guess
.
.
.
except
maybe
Gabi,
whose
sharp
eyes
never
miss
a
trick.
When
Gabi
learns
that
he's
capable
of
conjuring
things
much
bigger
than
a
chicken--including
his
dead
mother--and
she
takes
it
all
in
stride,
Sal
knows
that
she
is
someone
he
can
work
with.
There's
only
one
slight
problem:
their
manipulation
of
time
and
space
could
put
the
entire
universe
at
risk.
A
sassy
entropy
sweeper,
a
documentary
about
wedgies,
a
principal
who
wears
a
Venetian
bauta
mask,
and
heaping
platefuls
of
Cuban
food
are
just
some
of
the
delights
that
await
in
his
mind-blowing
novel
gift-wrapped
in
love
and
laughter.

(starred
review)
"This vibrant tale from Cuban-American Hernandez (The Assimilated Cuban's Guide to Quantum Santeria for adults) is peppered with Spanish dialogue and slang, filled with mouthwatering plates of Cuban cuisine, and highly inclusive, featuring a sprawling, memorable cast, including Gabi's collection of gender-spanning dads. A nonstop sense of wonder accompanies a genuinely heartwarming and humorous tone, and Sal and Gabi are clearly a fictional team destined for greatness."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Artfully balancing sf antics with a meaningful exploration of grief, Hernandez fills his fast-paced novel with an intriguing blend of sf, folklore, and Cuban culture and populates it with delightfully well-rounded, clever, and exceptionally kind characters, all in a lively, distinctive voice. With a compelling cliff-hanger ending, this engrossing adventure is sure to leave readers excitedly anticipating the next installment."—Booklist (starred review)
"The story moves quickly, with lots of multiverse traffic, school hijinks, and strong, smart, diverse characters. Most are Cuban-American in various shades of brown, like Sal, Gabi, and Yasmany, and Hernandez effortlessly folds in multiple intersectionalities, including Sal's diabetes and Gabi's unusual, delightfully matter-of-fact family structure. Secondary characters receive as much care and love as the primary cast, and readers will find themselves laughing out loud and rooting for Sal, Gabi, and even Yasmany until the very end. This book, drenched in Cuban Spanish and personality, is a breath of fresh air."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This book is good-hearted, funny, magical, and absolutely unputdownable. I fell in love with all the characters and want to keep reading about them forever."—Tina Connolly, author of the Seriously Wicked Series
"An extraordinary adventure about family and friendship, pulled off with show-stopping style. If Harry Houdini, Mr. Rogers, and Dr. Stephen Hawking wrote a book together, it might come close to the wonder, magic, and metaphysics of Carlos Hernandez'sSal and Gabi Break the Universe, but only Hernandez can bring the magnificent Sal Vidon, the brilliant Gabi Real, their families, and fellow students at Culeco Academy of the Arts to life. This book is a delight and a must-read."—Fran Wilde, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award Finalist; author ofUpdraft
"Sal and Gabi Break the Universeis beautiful, bonkers, and filled to the brim with a fiercely unstoppable joy."—William Alexander, National Book Award-winning author ofA Properly Unhaunted Place
