Krista Vitola at Simon & Schuster has acquired North American rights, in an exclusive submission, to The Cobra's Song by Supriya Kelkar, about a 10-year-old Indian American girl who comes from a family of famous classical Hindustani music singers. When someone suspicious comes to town, she is sure her neighbor has become an ichchaadari naagin, a cobra that can turn human, intent on revenge for an old wrongdoing. She must overcome her fears and harness the power of her voice before the naagin turns the whole town into a kingdom of snakes. Publication is set for spring 2023; Kathleen Rushall at Andrea Brown Literary did the deal.
