About the Book

When twelve-year-old Miguel’s gang member Papa makes promises to Santa Muerte in 2005 San Jose, someone in Miguel’s family loses a soul.

This time, Miguel's brother Juan was the target, but the trouble is Miguel won’t let Juan’s spirit go.

The resulting paranormal possession attracts demons, doppelgangers, and an ancient soul slayer from the depths of Hell — all of whom must be vanquished if Miguel is to live.

Miguel must choose to release his brother or lose yet another loved one, for the bargain was made with Santa Muerte and the price must be paid.

Reviews (Excerpts)

- "I was riveted from the first page to the very end. This novel has a great cast of characters. As the novel progresses, it becomes harder and harder to tell who is good and who is evil. This book has everything: demons, murder, broken parents, broken teens, and religion. I highly recommend it to readers of all ages." - Linda Ulleseit

- "[...] I have thoroughly enjoyed this story about growing up on the mean streets, dealing with sofa-surfing, discarded needles, and homeless people, some who might be angels in disguise sometimes." - Mark Schultz


- "[...] There are some scary battles and the subject matter is dark, but I think it's appropriate for 5th grade and up. I enjoyed it enormously. Ms. Knoblaugh has a compelling and enjoyable writing style, and I liked meeting her characters very much." - Melanie Spiller

- "[...] Tribute is fast-moving, middle-grade fare, setting up a series of supernatural adventures. Knoblaugh’s fresh, believable characters should appeal to the changing readership in our middle schools." - Bill Baynes-Author of The Occupation of Joe
