Overview: Soooo good! Sal and Gabi are super smart and fantastic, and I loved reading about them. Every single character is three dimensional and amaaaazing! I would recommend this to people ages 10-14. Kids older than that might even get the jokes and enjoy it, but the reading level is pretty young. There are a few Spanish words used, which I think adds to the story, but if you don’t speak the language it might be a little more confusing.

What’s it about? Diabetic magician Sal Vidon arrives at his new school with hope for a fresh start, only to meet the ambitious and highly inquisitive Gabi Real. So inquisitive in fact, that she discovers Sal’s secret: he can rip holes into other dimensions and pull things out, like a dead chicken to stick in a bully’s locker. One problem: These holes to other dimensions could rip apart the universe.

My thoughts: This book had hilarious little quips and situations that had me laughing out loud! The plot was pretty good, but it definitely got confusing at the very end of the book. Still not sure what happened there… if you can look past that one part at the end, its actually super good! The dimensions-ripping thing is really interesting and creative!
