The cover of "The Spirit Glass" on a template that celebrates We Need Diverse Books Day and offers recommendations of diverse books. The cover is a young woman reflected in a mirror with ghosts behind her.

On family reading night, our school gives away books to promote reading together. One of the students came back a week or so later and told me "You must read this book." So I did.

Now, I'm telling you - "You must read this book."
