Kokopelli's Flute by Will Hobbs

Thirteen year old Tep Jones is living the life most kids would love to live. His parents run the Seed Farm near the Anasazi cliff dwellings and he seems to have the run of the area. With his trusty dog Dusty, he climbs to the Picture House to view the eclips of the moon late one night only to find pothunters raiding the sacred site. After they leave, Tep finds a sacred flute that was overlooked by the men. Testing the flute, he takes it home with him, not realizing that the flute has given him the power to change into the body of an animal. Hobbs writes a great tale of life in the west, the history of it, and the challenge to save the seeds that are important to the lives of all of us. Adults will find it as interesting as young adults.
