    Shaun Taylor-Corbett and Kinsale Hueston give lively, animated performances of A Snake Falls to Earth, a young adult novel celebrating friendship and the power of storytelling. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss Darcie Little Badger’s new novel that centers around Nina, a Lipan Apache teenager, and Oli, an animal-person from the spirit world. Hueston voices Nina with a teenager’s bubbly energy, and Taylor-Corbett captures the otherworldly wisdom and humor of the cottonmouth snake-person and many other animal beings.
