About this Book
Sarah and Pilo are about to save the past. And the future. When 13-year-old Sarah falls in the mud behind her new home in Phoenix, she finds an unusual piece of ancient pottery. Then, after accidentally dying herself red and green, Sarah almost collides with 14-year-old Pilo. The two of them begin looking for traces of the past in the mountains and desert surrounding their homes. During their explorations, they uncover a developer's plot to bulldoze one of the prehistoric sites. With the help of an upset rattlesnake, a neighbor with two peculiar dogs, and a mysterious packet, Sarah and Pilo set out to stop what everyone thinks is unstoppable.
