This book is so much fun. Giggles abound yet this book doesn’t shy away from grief or tough issues either. You’ll love it.

Highly enjoyable, if at times a bit confusing due to a lack (intentionally, I believe) of clear world building/explanatory narrative, Sal and Gabi Break the Universe is the second sci-fi entry into the Rick Riordan Presents series. While I remain highly ambivalent about including sci-fi works in this series in general, I have to admit this particular book looks likely to be a huge hit with kids and I'm certainly looking forward to reading the second book in the series. Hernandez manages to hit notes of humor, hope, tragedy, and adventure with great skill and pitched perfectly for the recommended ages 8-12 audience.

I LOVED this book. So funny, clever, and moving with a hugely lovable cast of diverse characters. Another great offering from the Rick Riordan Presents line--truly follows through on its premise of providing great readalikes for the Percy Jackson et al books.

I loved this book! The full review will be posted soon at kaitgoodwin.com/books! Thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity to connect books to their readers!

I found this story to be highly entertaining, especially as it's infused with the irrepressible showmanship of Sal, a budding stage magician. One of the book’s unique touches is to share in great detail what it is like to be a Type-1 diabetic. I also appreciate the nuance that went into many of the story’s portrayals.

This books was SO fun. I read it aloud to my 8- and 12-year-old kids and we all laughed SO much. In fact, I'm not sure we've ever laughed so much while reading another book, and we read a LOT. It's got wonderful elements of family and friendship mixed in with a wild, fantastical elements and we cannot WAIT for the next one!
