"There's not nearly enough middle-grade sci-fi - and it's funny, too!" - Erin H.

This is an awesome action packed book that will bring you straight into its "empanada" crazed universe. Great for elementary/middle schoolers that enjoy magic, friendship, and a sassy talking machine. This is full on a book that you will…

A extremely relatable story about two young teens dealing with family, school, social issues, and loss. Sal and Gabi (and the other characters) are hyper intelligent, articulate, compassionate, and mature, yet still feel believable and…

The one-liner quotes advertising this book describe it as a "series of adventures," but it's more like Sal and Gabi just sort of muddle their way through middle school, which is all any self-respecting 7th grader can expect to do, right?…

Great for middle school/upper elementary (and their parents). Hysterical and also shows great examples of friendships and family relationships and how to navigate them. We love all of the Rick Riordan presents books that we have read so…

I loved how Sal and Gabi together trying to fix the universe together. It is a nice turn from all those myths from old civilizations, the other Rick Riordan books and RR presants books were about the continue of heros from myologies from…

Oh man, every creative child (so, every child) should get to go to a school like Sal's. Culeco Academy for the Arts is a dream of a middle school, where the drama teacher is a fan of every student and the textiles teacher sports a…

It's refreshing to have a story about a kid with the power to open holes in the fabric of the universe without the story being an epic battle between good and evil for the fate of the world. No, this is a sweet, funny story about smart,…

This book just did not come together for me. From the title I imagined Sal and Gabi cavorting about the universe getting themselves into trouble and having to make things right. What I did not expect was Sal bringing back his versions of…
