Signed Copies Available!
From New York Times bestselling author Donna Barba Higuera, Firesnake delivers a triumphant finale to the story that began with the Newbery Medal–winning The Last Cuentista and continued in the Pura Belpré Honor–winning Alebrijes.
Itzel has never known a life on Earth. Growing up on Sagan, the granddaughter of the Cuentista, her years have been spent among the dactyls, griblets, and billow seeds of their new planet. But when a mysterious message arrives from across the cosmos, Itzel realizes that the home they thought destroyed hundreds of years ago has survived . . . and with it, another community of humans. Will she and the other Saganites brave the journey back to Earth? And what will they find? For they are not the only ones who have received this message . . .
Master storyteller Donna Barba Higuera brings her beloved Cuentista trilogy to a close in a book full of old friends and new, jaw-dropping twists, and a journey to the stars and back.
"Expertly connects the first two books, continuing the impeccable worldbuilding and exploring similarly profound themes, including the difficult choices people are forced to make when established systems fail them. Higuera raises questions about the possibility of enduring human happiness and whether cycles of turmoil are destined to repeat themselves even when there are chances for improvement. The series ends on a hopeful and satisfying note of new beginnings. A testament to humanity, celebrating the legacies we leave behind in our stories and sacrifices." — Kirkus (starred)
