From ALSC: "Applying conventions of traditional Lipan Apache storytelling, this lyrical novel follows the entwining stories of Native teen Nina and Oli, a snake boy from the spirit world." From Kirkus: "A coming-of-age story that beautifully combines tradition and technology for modern audiences."

Beautiful story that weaves Indigenous folklore into the modern world. I was engrosse. I didn't want it to end, so the rushed conclusion was a bit heartbreaking. 5 stars despite its flaws. ( )

This was a fun story full of Native American stories and mythology. I liked how it touched upon climate change and animal extinction in the context of how it was affecting the mirror world and the animal spirit people. I liked how Nina is a modern teenager, who embraces her cultural traditions in a fully modern world. Oli and his friends were great characters that often made me smile. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading young adult fiction. ( )

This style/genre of book was just not for me. Two universes, dual POV, a Hurricane and a sick road. Maybe for some but not for me. ( )

The moves between Mia and Ollie. There's a hurricane moving toward Mia's grandmother's home. Her abuela has noticed she can't go far from home without her health suffering. People who live on the family homestead live a LONG time. Ollie is a young cottonmouth snake who has the ability to have an animal and human form. He's gently kicked out from the family home to live on his own. He builds his own family. And when his best friend, Ami, is sick with extinction. He has to go to the human world to try to save his life. The stories intertwine. The characters are ones I rooted for, and I really liked when the stories intersected. A satisfying audiobook ( )

This is a quietly polished work, which manages to tie together a diverse array of threads, historical and future, into a quilt that informs without confusing, one that younger readers will enjoy. At the same time, a creaky person like myself can also enjoy it.

...dammed town, particularly since the beavers replaced every tree they gnawed down.
...all animal people have a knack for communication. We don't all speak the same language, but we're adept at understanding all languages, get it? And I have a particular knack for the skill.
"The homeland," Nina agreed. "It makes sense. Compasses don't work here. Here, where the story begins..."

Here, where the two worlds embraced, and magic rose to the Earth like the enduring water in Rosita's well.
