I got this ex-library hardcover from Better World Books. It's from the author's series of children's books inspired by the animals of the Asian zodiac, though these stories are new ones.
In this one, young serpent Suzie rebels against her family's expectations - and befriends a human girl. But can a snake and a human be friends? Suzie wins over Lily's grandparents by catching a meddlesome rat for them, acts as a leash for Lily's dog (!), and lends a helping hand - er, length of snakey strength - in other areas as well. [Hint: do not attempt to use an actual snake as a leash. Or a tug-rope. It would not end well. But it is rather cute in the story.] Suzie even finds a way to use her own shed snakeskin to distract an oncoming dragon! Lots of fun adventures, and a whole slew of new friends.
"And everyone agreed that this was a sensational Year of the Snake."
