Summary: Good, but REALLY wierd.
Review: A really weird book is usually good, and this is no exception. Will Hobbs' specialty is adventure, and this is his prime of writing. Although not the best book, it is really good. I only did not like the species change. Creepy!

Summary: Not only a fun read but full of vital ecological insights!
Review: Following the changling adventures of Tepary Jones and his wonderdog offers more than entertainment. The adventures also give wonderful insights into the importance of species diversity, the insidiousness of poaching, and respect for cultures and different ways of thinking. Will Hobbs is an excellent storyteller whose own interests in natural history play an essential role in his integration of adventure and environmental issues--especially for those in the southwest.

Summary: Kokopelli's flute/ Kelly M.
Review: I gave Kokopelli's Flute a five star because it a great book!It is also a good book if you are studying Native Americans. There is alot of information about the South West. I would recommend this book for third grade and up.It is confusing and very mysterious. You will learn about desert animals, desert plants,and an ancient person named Kokopelli. There are many facts about a lot of anceint things, such as pictographs, petroglyphs, medicine man, and their ancient crops. The book is about a boy named Tepary [The Human Bean] and his adventures. He meets a man named Cricket, who becomes a good friend. He also meets some clever but mean Pot Hunters, who Tepary doesn't like! If you like Native Americans, the Anassazi Tribe, the Pueblo tribe and adventures you would like this book! If you read this book you will be in a whole new great world! I hope you read this book.

Summary: Kokopelli's Flute
Review: I read Kokopelli's flute a few weeks ago. When I finished, which was after a couple days, i enjoyed it. it had an intriguing plot, and was exciting. The story-line kept me interested, but I thought that the book lacked depth. its was kind of fluffy, and aimed wards children. I did enjoy the literary componets of the corporate developability. I only gave the book 3 stars out of five, for the lack of personal connection, and charactor development.
My compliments to the author.

Summary: Kokopellis Flute M.W.T.
Review: I recommend this book to kids of the age ten or older because it is a confusing book, but great book. It starts when the main character Tepary is going to Picture House (Picture House is an ancient indian cliff dwelling) to see the eclipse. Then he sees pothunters stealing the pots. When the pot hunters leave there was a flute left behind. Read this exciting, thrilling, and magical book to find out what happens.

Summary: I liked this book so much that I couldn't put it down!
Review: I think everyone should read it! This book is about a boy named Teparary Jones that went to the picture house. When he was in it he saw some robbers that were taking things. They had dropped a bone flute of Kokopelli's. He didn't play it because it had Kokopelli's spell on it. You should read this book! Alex Jize, 5th grade

Summary: Kokopelies Flute (K.F.)
Review: I think Kokopelli's Flute should get four stars.It is non-fiction and is about a boy who transforms into a desert animal. It takes place in New Mexico and the boy's name is Tepary Jones. While it is a great book it is a little confusing so I don't recommend it for children under the age of ten. If you read the book you'll find out why Tepary turns into a desert animal. If you are interested in desert plants,animals,and Native Americans this will be a great book for you.

Summary: 7th grade book report
Review: In the moonlight of a total eclipse, young Tepary Jones's first lunar eclipse, a tragedy occurred. The last untouched Indian site was being robbed of priceless pottery. Two pothunters had come to rob the picture house. Though suspicious, Tep undertakes to run them off. The superstitious pothunters are easily driven away. After an owl hoot, Tep lit a tumbleweed and dropped it over the cliff, causing it to burn away in the air sending them running. When he took a closer look at the dig, he found a basket containing ancient medicine and an eagle bone flute. Though he knew better, Tep put the flute to his lips and blew one magical note. He laughed, watching a wood rat coming to hear the music. The next morning the famous Mr. K, a secret botanist, sent another package containing once again beans for the seed farm. Among the package of beans were also strange types of gourd that will become life saving in the future. After a hard day's work planting the seeds, Tep goes back to his room to bed and watches his pet opossum come through a hole in the roof. As the sun goes down Tep feels funny, looks at his hands and comprehends he has turned into a wood rat. Remembering that Wood rats are an opossum's main diet, Tep was almost eaten by his pet. Tep's inquisitive single note on the eagle bone flute had turned him into the rat by night. An epidemic virus that is carried by pack rats and crossed transmitted to humans who die from the virus is sweeping the desert. The only cure for the virus is the medicine Tep found in the ancient basket. Tep, being a wood rat in size, is unable to retrieve the medicine. Taking the flute from the basket in desperation, Tep breaks the code with three blows on the flute and returns to human form. This allows him to carry the medicine back and save the day. Kokopelli's Flute, named for the one Tep found in the basket, is a twisted story of heroism. I found the story enchantingly good. I recommend this book.
