Plot
[edit]One day, Sal wakes up and finds that his annoying interdimensional power has been removed. While waiting for Gabi to arrive to walk him to school, he is visited by an alternate version of Gabi from another universe who he dubs "FixGabi" who tells him that his father's tinkering with the holes between the multiverse will destroy Sal's world.
Reception
[edit]Publishers Weekly gave the book high reviews, claiming that "[the] story also speaks to the importance of both biological and found family, and the impact of love and acceptance."[2] The book was also named to the Eleanor Cameron Notable Middle Grades Books List.[3]
