The Spirit Glass
The Spirit Glass | Roshani Chokshi
3 posts | 2 read
Corazon yearns to finally start training as a babaylan (a mystical healer and spirit guide) under her powerful guardian, Aunt Tina. As soon as her magic awakens, Corazon plans to bring her parents back from the dead and no longer have to rely on a soul key to allow visits with their ghosts for a few hours every Saturday night. But when a vengeful ghost steals Corazon's precious key, the fragile balance between the human world and the spirit world is thrown out of whack. Aunt Tina reveals that if Corazon wants her magic to awaken, then she just lay the ghost to rest by fashioning a new soul key. With her rather bloodthirsty gecko companion, Saso, Corazon embarks on a quest through the spirit realms. But they must move quickly, for if the ghost gets through the spirit glass, all hope will be lost. Roshani Chokshi pays tribute to her Filipino heritage in this book that has all the magic, sparkle, and heart that made her Aru Shah series a fantasy classic.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️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.

This may be the first #RiordanPresents that really made me cry. Corazon is such a relatable girl who wants her parents. To not be abandoned. Saso is… well, Saso. I‘ve got no words besides I love him. The way the ending all came together is both heartbreaking and heartfelt. I just love it all. Corazon does amazing getting deity blessings in such creative ways to keep it all balanced. Never felt high staked, big fights. About staying kind

I love myself one leopard gecko who thinks he‘s a crocodile living up to the hype of such ferocity. Such a fun set of characters. Roshani is an amazing storyteller. #RiordanPresents
