Synopsis:

Tia Lugo has a deadly secret.

Tia Lugo considers herself an ordinary thirteen-year-old girl. She just wants to enjoy the end of summer, which means hanging out with her best friend and neighbor, Julius, and ignoring  her Puerto Rican grandmother’s embarrassing reliance on creepy candles, weird-smelling herb bundles, and eerie statues—all available for sale at the nearby botánica. But when Tia witnesses a murder late one night from her bedroom window, everything changes in an instant.

Now, Tia is terrified to tell anyone what she’s seen. What if the killer comes after her too? He knows where she lives. Even worse, Tia believes he’s sending her secret messages, reminding her to stay quiet. Desperate to keep herself and her family safe, Tia turns to the last place she ever thought she’d go: her grandmother’s favorite shopping spot, the botánica.

Author’s Note on the Cover:

We’re never supposed to judge a book by it’s cover, right? Confession time: I do! The thing is, I’m attracted to many different covers. One thing I can say with certainty is that color plays a huge role in every book that draws me in. When I first saw the cover art for TIA LUGO SPEAKS NO EVIL, the bright colors jumped off my computer screen and my heart leapt. What luck! The incredible use of color captures and accentuates a multitude of eclectic objects. These are just some items you’ll see in a Botanica but won’t in a traditional store. Both Tia and the reader have so much to explore!
