Connection A Snake Falls to Earth is a breathtaking work of Indigenous futurism. Darcie Little
Badger draws on traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure to weave another unforgettable
tale of monsters magic and family. It is not to be missed. 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.
