Booktalk #1 Sal Vidon can create holes in the universe when he meditates. At first he uses his power to help him perform magic tricks, but messing with the laws of physics can have major consequences – as Sal and his friend Gabi find out the hard way. Oops! Science Fiction. (Rhode Island Middle School Book Award 2021) Booktalk #2 7th grade can be hard for anyone. Being the new kid with Type 1 diabetes has its own challenges, even for magician Sal Vidón who has the ability to transport objects from other universes. Lucky for Sal, though, he meets Gabi Reál who becomes Sal’s dedicated sidekick and confidant. Through their friendship, Sal and Gabi work together to break the universe in the hope of repairing loss and saving others from certain death. Will they succeed by breaking the barriers of space and time, or will their efforts fail? This story will fascinate all sci-fi readers and anyone who has ever been fortunate enough to find that one true best friend. (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2021-2022) |
