Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez
Sal comes from a magician background and is having trouble in school. Gabi is the popular girl at school. Sal struggles a lot with talking to her and understanding relationships. However, they eventually become friends.
In response to a bully, Sal is able to pull a chicken from another universe into a locker. This sets off explorations of the multiverse. They communicate with robots (and try to determine if they are in fact robots.) There are school projects, plays and other things. At times you wonder if this is just "imagination" or in fact a real experiences. At the conclusion they are struggling with terminal illnesses of family members. Can they find an alternate universe where they live?
I got lost at times when they book went "out there" (like with the humanoid robot), but then woudl get back into it as it started getting back down to earth and a more standard multiverse.
