Many years ago, animal people shared the world with us. Then the world splits our world and the Reflecting World.

Animal people can take their true shape, or the shape of a human as Cottonmouth proves.

As he tries to adjust to his new life the book switches between his experiences and those of Nina, who lives in our world.

Nina is nine when her great grandmother dies. Her story, told in her Native American tongue leads Nina to create a verbal dictionary so she can translate the tale of the Reflecting World.

Now a hurricane is descending on Texas. Nina’s grandmother’s land is a portal to the Reflecting World and she is bound to the land. Nina is going to have to connect with the animal people to keep her grandmother safe.

Small adventures pile on top of each other to create an action-packed beautiful book filled with Native American legend and lore.
