A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger

4.0

This was such a sweet and heartwarming book. The writing style was simple and I’m sure intentionally imitated oral storytelling style. I definitely preferred the parts that took part in the Reflecting World and wished the story centered more around their lives there - I’d definitely read a sequel of Oli looking for his siblings. The parts on Earth were a bit more far fetched and the simplicity of writing style contributed to making our world feel flat while it enhanced the Reflecting World. I was worried about how it would resolve, and while it was a bit convenient I was satisfied and glad it didn’t go in my imagined directions. I think this book is a bit more middle grades than YA but I would love to read it aloud with children in the future.

Very happy my school district gave this out for free to our students!
