This vibrant tale from Cuban-American Hernandez ( The Assimilated Cuban’s Guide to Quantum Santeria for adults) is peppered with Spanish dialogue and slang, filled with mouthwatering plates of Cuban cuisine, and highly inclusive, featuring a sprawling, memorable cast, including Gabi’s collection of gender-spanning dads. When Gabi’s hospitalized baby brother takes a turn for the worse, Sal’s power might just be the solution they need-unless it destroys the universe. Making friends with ambitious journalist Gabi Real and her unconventional family helps ease the transition. It’s not easy: the teachers are eccentric, his fellow students think he’s a brujo (a bad witch), and every so often Sal brings versions of his deceased mother-“Mami Muerta”-over from other dimensions, much to his father and stepmother’s consternation. In this charming middle grade romp, 13-year-old Sal Vidón, a type 1 diabetic and amateur magician with the inexplicable ability to open holes in the space-time continuum, adjusts to his new life at Miami’s Culeco Academy of the Arts.
