*"In the construction of Sal and Gabi's world, Hernandez has fixed our own universe--not by removing its flaws, but by populating it with people who care for one another. It's a place for readers to live in, a haven they can always escape to for comfort and hope. And also, fart jokes. But mostly hope . . ."—Booklist, starred review

*"This excellent sequel features nonstop multiverse hijinks, great comedy, and heartening moments that are skillfully interwoven with a subplot that features a delightfully surreal student production of Alice in Wonderland--er, "Alicia" in "el pais de las mara villas."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
