About Shatter the Universe. . .

From the world of Hasbro’s Power Rangers entertainment franchise comes another action-packed, original YA novel from the point of view of Trini Kwan, the Yellow Ranger

Rita Repulsa and her henchmen have been defeated. Trini, Billy, Zack, Jason, and Kimberly have become fast friends and have embraced their roles as the Power Rangers. And Trini and Zack have started dating. Everything is perfect.

That is, until alternate reality versions of the Power Rangers appear in Angel Grove with one purpose: to break up Trini and Zack.

It turns out that there aren’t a whole lot of universes where Trini and Zack get together. But in one of those other universes, alternate Trini makes a choice that has resounding consequences for the entire Morphin Grid. Now, a slew of alternate-reality Power Rangers are trying to stop this Trini from making an even more disastrous choice—one that involves her budding romance with Zack.

Trini’s options don’t look great—give up Zack or potentially cause the destruction of the Morphin Grid. Will Trini and her friends be able to come up with a third option—one that no other universe has been able to find?
