A Snake Falls To Earth: Big Library Read

Ross Library patrons can experience Big Library Read, the world’s largest digital book club, with a Newbery Award-winning young adult novel. The library will be hosting a book club discussion at 7 PM on Thursday, November 3, and the book is Darcie Little Badger’s indigenous fantasy novel, A Snake Falls to Earth.

A Snake Falls to Earth tells the story of Nina, a Lipan Apache girl who always felt there was something more out there. She still believes in the old stories. Meanwhile, 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.

The book can be borrowed digitally or in-person. For further information, please contact the Ross Library at 570-748-3321 or ross13@rosslibrary.org. The Annie Halenbake Ross Library is a Clinton County United Way partner agency and a PA Forward Gold Star Library.
