Hola, Universo - by Erin Kelly Entrada (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

En un solo día, las vidas de cuatro niños se cruzan en una asombrosa aventura. Virgil Salinas es tímido y se siente incomprendido. Valencia Somerset es sorda, inteligente y muy testaruda. Kaori Tanaka lee la buena fortuna y dice ser vidente. Chet Bullens es el abusón de la escuela. No son amigos entre sí. Prácticamente, ni siquiera se conocen. Pero cuando Chet le gasta una broma pesada a Virgil y a su conejillo de Indias, Gulliver, los destinos de estos cuatro niños se conectarán de una forma verdaderamente impredecible. ¿Será sólo una coincidencia o una señal del Universo?

In a single day, the lives of four children weave together through an amazing adventure. Virgil Salinas is shy and feels misunderstood. Valencia Somerset is deaf, intelligent, and very stubborn. Kaori Tanaka is a self-proclaimed psychic whose little sister, Gen, is always following her around. And Chet Bullens wishes the weird kids would just stop being so different so he could concentrate on basketball. But when Chet pulls a mean prank on Virgil and his pet guinea pig, Kaori, Gen, and Valencia must go on an epic quest to find the missing Virgil. Through luck, smarts, bravery, and a little help from the universe, a rescue is performed, a bully is put in his place, and friendship blooms.
