⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love Roshani Chokshi‘s writing, & that doesn‘t change if her audience is middle schoolers or adults. There is something really special about this that weaves Filipino folklore into a fun, funny, heartbreaking quest with a girl, a ghost, & a gecko. I‘m grateful for these stories, and all in the Rick Riordan Presents series, because I learn about another culture, and because I could feel the healing in this book. Beautifully done.
