A Snake Falls to Earth (2021) von Darcie Little Badger. Ein Paradebeispiel des indigenen Futurismus und das ungewöhnlichste YA-Buch der letzten Jahre. Die Geschichte eines Lipan-Mädchens, das ums Grundstück seiner Großmutter fürchtet, und eines Schlangenjungen aus der Geisterwelt, lehnt Gewalt als Konfliktlösung kategorisch ab und lebt von der liebevollen Aufmerksamkeit gegenüber kleinen Vorgängen in der Natur.

A Snake Falls to Earth (2021) by Darcie Little Badger. To me this will always be the prime example of Indigenous Futurism. The story of a Lipan girl fearing for her grandmother's land and a snake from the spirit world who have work together to save a species from extinction is different from any other YA book I've ever read. It refrains from solutions through violence and displays an attentive care for nature which I loved.

'A Snake Falls To Earth' tackles real life issues in a fantastical world

Author Darcie Little Badger has her protagonists, Nina and a cottonmouth snake named Oli, tackle big, real world problems in her new Young Adult novel, <em>A Snake Falls To Earth</em>. She told NPR's Leila Fadel that young people are feeling climate anxiety acutely, so it was important to her to make it a part of this story, even though it takes place in a fantastical world. She does have a PhD in oceanography and a bachelors in geo-science, so understands the stakes really well. But, she doesn't want her readers to walk away feeling hopeless.
