<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"When best friends Sal and Gabi try to repair the damage they created when they altered the universe to help their families, they end up creating even more chaos"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Now in paperback from Rick Riordan Presents, the sequel to the critically acclaimed and award-winning <i>Sal and Gabi Break the Universe</i>.</b> <p/>*A place for readers to live in, a haven they can always escape to for comfort and hope.--Booklist (starred review) <p/>Among many other challenges, Sal and Gabi have to try to make everything right with our world when there is a rogue Gabi from another universe running loose. <p/>Sal Vidon doesn't want to live a Mami-free life. Pulling different versions of his mother from other universes is how he copes with missing his own, who died years ago. But Sal's father, a calamity physicist, is trying to shut down all the wormholes Sal creates, because Papi thinks they are eroding the very fabric of our world. All of Papi's efforts are in vain, however, because a Gabi from another universe has gone rogue and is popping up all over the place, seeking revenge for the fact that her world has been destroyed. <p/>While Sal and Gabi work together to keep both Papi and Rogue Gabi under control, they also have to solve the mystery of Yasmany, who has gone missing from school. Could it have something to do with the wormhole in the back of his locker? <p/>Readers who enjoyed <i>Sal and Gabi Break the Universe</i> will relish being back in the world of Culeco Academy and the Coral Castle along with such unforgettable characters as American Stepmom, the Gabi-Dads, Principal Torres, and the sassy entropy sweeper. <p/><b>With multiple Sals and Gabis in charge, it's no wonder this sequel offers even more hilarious weirdness and love than the first book.</b><br><b><br></b>Look for these other out-of-this-world middle grade adventures: <ul><li>Rick Riordan Presents: <i>Aru Shah and the End of Time</i> by Roshani Chokshi</li><li>Rick Riordan Presents: <i>Tristan Strong Punches a Whole in the Sky</i> by Kwame Mbalia</li><li>Rick Riordan Presents: <i>Dragon Pearl </i>by Yoon Ha Lee</li><li>Rick Riordan Presents: <i>Paola Santiago and the River of Tears</i> by Tehlor Kay Mejia</li></ul><b><br></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>*In the construction of Sal and Gabi's world, Hernandez has fixed our own universe--not by removing its flaws, but by populating it with people who care for one another.
