Suzie befriends the girl Lily and they discover what a snake is really good for! But will Suzie realize that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor?

The Year of the Snake is the eighth in the annual series Tales of the Chinese Zodiac.

"Humor, adventure and tradition come together for another fun installment in Oliver Chin’s Chinese Zodiac series. Don’t be scared off by the scales and fangs. Suzie is one snake you’ll wish you had around!" - Michelle Loomis, San Mateo County Library, CA

"The heartwarming story about overcoming misconceptions resounds in any culture. It also doesn't hurt that the heroine is playful and enjoys being a little girl's jump rope. Despite the scales and fangs, Suzie is a snake with a heart of gold."
- Sampan

"The symbolic nature of the snake being wise and intelligent and good at making things turn out just the way it wants in business and otherwise quietly shines through in this book in a friendly and fun sort of way. There are subtle themes of looking past prejudice to one's true nature that you can point out if you wish - or just let your kids enjoy the silly illustrations and tuck 'em in."
