Purchase options and add-ons

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents a standalone quest adventure based on Filipino mythology by Roshani Chokshi, author of the best-selling Aru Shah series.

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 must 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for The Spirit Glass

"Roshani writes with the kind of electrifying wonder and sweeping grace that only she can! You will fall in love with Corazon and Saso."
   —Kelly Yang #1
New York Times best-selling and award-winning author of the Front Desk series and New From Here

Praise for Aru Shah and the End of Time

* "In her middle-grade debut, Chokshi spins a fantastical narrative that seamlessly intertwines Hindu cosmology and folklore, feminism, and witty dialogue for an uproarious novel for young readers. Chokshi comes into her own in this novel, reminding readers of the power of language and of stories."
   —Kirkus (starred review)

* "This series kick-off . . . also the first book from the Rick Riordan Presents imprint, expertly channels the humor and action that have made Riordan's own work so successful. Aru commands the spotlight . . . and Chokshi weaves an engrossing adventure that will leave readers anticipating the next installment."  
   —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

*"Using Hindu mythology as the foundation, Chokshi has created an exciting adventure around a coming-of-age tale. Just as "Percy Jackson" led tweens to a deeper exploration and appreciation of classic Greek mythology, Chokshi's tale will likely inspire a similar demand for traditional Indian mythology. An enthralling start to a series that Riordan fans and anyone in the mood for a high-octane adventure will love."
   —School Library Journal (starred review)

The Spirit Glass
by Roshani Chokshi
I could only wish that this book had been written in my children's childhood. The embrace of the Philippines and Georgia culture. I found the Philippine mythologies wonderful, showing the nature of the stories. Giving hints to the dark stories, and the light inspirations that are thread through the story. The story is inspiring and beautiful in its descriptions. The lessons are important for many children patience, courage, and resolution. I love Sasso and find his and Emilio's comments hilarious, I giggled about their comments.
I was so impressed I purchased a copy to share with my children, and hopefully the next generation.

As in all good fantasy, there is a strong central character that fiynds her way and fixes what she unwittingly created
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2023
The Spirit Glass is a fitting addition to the Rick Riordan Presents set of books, both for the inclusion of Filipino mythology and the story itself, which is beautifully written and contains several twists.

Corazon is nearly 12 years old; she lives with her aunt Tina, following the death of her parents in a car crash. She is a babaylan, a mystical magic user, waiting impatiently for her twelfth birthday, when her powers will awaken fully and she will be able to train her abilities properly. Like all babaylan, she has an anito, a spirit guide; hers takes the form of a gecko, a happy, loud-mouthed, very confident gecko at that. Corazon is visited every Saturday evening by the ghosts of her mother and father, who come for dinner and stay through the evening, through the auspices of her spirit key, a mystical device that allows them to visit. But on a trip to the Midnight Bridge, a different ghost steals the spirit key, and Corazon must go on a quest to replace it, or she'll never be able to see her parents again.

This is, in some ways, a very fun novel, especially with Saso, Corazon's anito, which provides comic relief throughout the novel. In some ways, it is very solemn, because woven all through the book are references to Corazon's deceased parents, and her desire to bring them back to life once she comes into her powers. But even with that, there is a lightness and hope to this story than is very engaging. I can only hope that Corazon will have another adventure in the future - and soon. Recommended for ages middle school to adult.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2023
Ever since Roshani Chokshi kicked off Rick Riordan Presents back in 2018, I’ve been completely taken by her writing and her presence. Aru Shah continues to be my favorite series out of this imprint, so when I learned we’d be getting a new book from Rosh, I was over the moon with excitement.

The stakes are high and the mysteries are deep in The Spirit Glass. If you loved Roshani’s first series centering on Aru Shah, you’ll find plenty to love here despite the fact that it’s a whole new world with a brand new heroine taking the lead. The writing reminds me more of what I experienced in Rosh’s debut adult novel, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride, though the adventure and humor are reminiscent of her other RRP series.

Throughout the story, Corazon must think on her feet and look deep within herself to solve the problems set out before her. Where she could’ve taken the easy road, she chooses to put in the hard work to ensure she gives everyone she meets a fair trade. And if that’s not the definition of a hero, I don’t know what is.

At the end of the day, this book is the perfect balance of magical adventure, side-splitting comedy, spooky backdrops, tasty food (a la Graci Kim's Gifted Clans series), and emotional resonance. From the start, it pulls you in and keeps you hooked until you’re madly flipping the pages to learn all the secrets they hold. With The Spirit Glass, Roshani once again proves she’s a master story-teller who knows how to weave her own kind of magic.

5 stars!!!

I was introduced to Roshani Chokshi through The Gilded Wolves, which I thought was okay, though I liked the second book, The Silvered Serpents more. It made me pick up the Aru Shah series, which I loved. Aru Shah was the series that introduced me to Hindu Mythology (other than what I had picked up from yoga), and I really enjoyed it. I didn't know if I would like a heroine as much as Aru Shah, but as soon as I started reading this, I was hooked. So much that I ended up reading it in one sitting. I loved Corazon, and I especially loved how Chokshi incorporated Filipino mythology (which is a broad category according to the author's note). The magic system was very cool, and I especially loved the house, which was a character in its own right. Her gecko companion was the best, and the story was so engrossing. There were some surprises along the way, including the end, that I would think, "I should have figured that out, that is exactly what should have happened," but of course, I didn't figure it out beforehand. The story is wonderfully crafted, and although this appears to be a standalone novel, I would love to revisit Corazon and Saso.

I was so lucky to receive this as an advanced review copy from Netgalley and the publishers. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved the Aru Shah series from Roshani Chokshi so I had to try The Spirit Glass. Chokshi has such a way with building worlds and characters and it continued here. Corazon wants to be able to get her magical training started in the hopes of bringing her parents back to life. A spirit steals her Soul Key and Corazon must go on a quest to get it back. I loved her companion, Saso. He was just the right amount of sass and spitfire.
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023
Simply fabulous stand-alone fantasy coming of age novel. Equally poignant and mystical, I couldn’t stop reading The Spirit Glass once I picked it up. The depictions of grief are some of the best renderings of the understated dull ache of extended mourning I have ever seen. I lost my own mother a year and a half ago and I have never felt so seen and so assured that my mourning experience was natural and normal as when I read this wonderful fairy tale
