About this listen

Rick Riordan presents a brilliant sci-fi romp with Cuban influence that poses this question: What would you do if you had the power to reach through time and space and retrieve anything you want, including your mother, who is no longer living (in this universe, anyway)?

In order to heal after his mother's death, Sal learned how to meditate. But no one expected him to be able to take it further and "relax" things into existence. Turns out he can reach into time and space to retrieve things from other universes - even his mom! He has promised his dad and stepmom that he won't bring back his mother anymore (it causes a lot of marital tension), but sometimes, he can't help himself. Why can't they all just get along?

Sal doesn't talk about his ability with anyone. At Culeco, his performing arts middle school, he just chalks it up to being a magician. But when he meets Gabi, the student council president and editor of the school paper, he realizes she is someone with whom he can work. She could use his help, too, because she has a newborn brother on life support.

But just because Sal and Gabi can do some interesting things to improve lives, does that mean they should? When things get out of hand, it's going to require some truly out-of-the-box thinking to set things right.

I really liked the beginning of the story, but halfway through it started getting all about manipulation for corruption. I personally just love books that make you laugh and I didn’t think it had as much of that as I would have liked. But if you’re into Sci-fi, this is for you.

Okay, kinda odd…

I recommend parents read this with their children of any reading age. Stretches imagination and introduces science fantasy within thus very captivating story. Storyline and characters just perfect.

Just as good for adults

If I could give this book ten stars, I would! I am a huge fan of Juvenile Fiction. I think I've listened to all of Rick Riordan's series and now all of "Rick Riordan Presents." I wasn't in a hurry to download this one, because it seemed to be more science fiction than based in the cultural mythologies.
I am absolutely blown away!
Hernandez may have dethroned Riordan as my favorite JF writer!
Sal, the main character, narrates. He is absolutely hilarious! He's also very intelligent emotionally. He shows kindness and compassion. He has a beautiful family, but he's also known tragedy, so he has so much depth for a middle school kid. But it's not unbelievable. You'll laugh and cry and cheer.
There isn't enough room here nor enough words for me to tell you how much you need to hear this book. The narrator, Anthony Rey Perez, gives it just the right Latinx flair! I hope there will be more.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? DOWNLOAD IT!!!!!

If You Love Juvenile Fiction You Must Listen!
