Yadriel struggles to prove who he truly is to his traditional Latinx family. When they refuse to let him become a brujo, he performs the ritual with the help of his cousin Martiza. However, instead of summing his dead cousin, he summons Julian Diaz. Julian used to be a troublemaker at school but as Yadriel gets to know him, he learns more about who he truly was and he doesn't want him to leave. Will they discover who murdered Julian and his cousin? Was it the same person? Will his family ever accept him and see him as a brujo? And can they do it all by the end of Día de los Muertos? (Georgia Peach Book Award, 2022)
