Reviews

"A highly descriptive story with open dialogue which absorbs the audience into its world, readers will become invested in reading until the very end."--School Library Connection, "Both authentic and original. Strong, subtle worldbuilding allows readers to immerse themselves in Nina's near future world of increased climate change and advanced social media technology and in Oli's magical world of spirits, monsters, and old stories come to life." -The Hub (a YALSA Blog),, "Undeniably charming. There is no pretension in the writing, no forced attempts at being on trend, and yet it is completely relevant-whether it is that certain characters are asexual, or use the pronoun they, or the power of the internet, or whether it is the frightening, timely talk of rapid climate change and how it effects more lives than just those of humans, whether it is to remind us that our longevity as humans is intertwined with that of other species, and with that of the earth, or whether it is to remind us of what is most important, the one thing that may save us all-the power of stories, and community."-Tor.com,, [STAR] "Evokes the timeless feeling of listening to traditional oral storytelling."-Kirkus Reviews (starred),, ""Draws on her scientific training and tribal storytelling to weave a spellbinding tale." -- Texas Monthly, ", "This is a delightful and imaginative novel with alternating protagonists. One is Nina, a teenager trying to translate a story told by her great-great-grandmother in her native Athabaskan language, Lipan. The other is Oli, a cottonmouth snake with the ability to shapeshift, who is learning to find his way after being pushed from the nest. Climate change features, informed by the author's geoscience degree and PhD in oceanography. Another theme is linguistic diversity and the crucial role of storytelling in keeping cultures alive. A Snake Falls to Earth is also very much a story of friendship."--Five Books, "Fun, imaginative, and deeply immersive, this story will be long in the minds of readers."-- Publishers Weekly (starred), "Evokes the timeless feeling of listening to traditional oral storytelling."--Kirkus Reviews (starred), ""Both authentic and original. Strong, subtle worldbuilding allows readers to immerse themselves in Nina's near future world of increased climate change and advanced social media technology and in Oli's magical world of spirits, monsters, and old stories come to life." --The Hub (a YALSA Blog), ", "If Elatsoe was a ten out of ten, then A Snake Falls to Earth is a solid 11. This book could have been twice as long and I still would have begged for more. Although aimed at a young-adult audience, it has the kind of easy appeal and heartfelt tone that will entice younger kids and older adults as well. Anyone reading or buying YA needs to add this to their shelves immediately." -- Locus, "Undeniably charming.

Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this breathaking work of Indigenous futurism, Darcie Little Badger weaves an unforgettable tale of monsters, magic, and family. Nina is a Lipan girl in our world. She's always felt there was something more out there. She still believes in the old stories. Oli is a cottonmouth kid, from the land of spirits and monsters. Like all cottonmouths, he's been cast from home. He's found a new one on the banks of the bottomless lake. Nina and Oli have no idea the other exists. But a catastrophic event on Earth, and a strange sickness that befalls Oli's best friend, will drive their worlds together in ways they haven't been in centuries. And there are some who will kill to keep them apart.
