Yelloweye Devon Layne

The youngest of the Bell family siblings, Phile and Caitlin add a new twist to time travel. They are in both times simultaneously. For kids growing up on a ranch in Wyoming, it is confusing and disorienting, causing them to go wild and become antisocial. As Cheyenne in the 1860s it is almost fatal. What saves the kids from utter insanity is the gift that the old owl, Yelloweye, has given them. They are to learn to ride in the minds of the animals. Some of those minds, like their horses', are calm and peaceful. Reaching for the mind of a rattlesnake, however, is reaching into nothingness. When they attempt the wolves, they are overwhelmed by the hunger and bloodlust. It is only when Creator Wolf steps between them and the pack that they are saved. Creator Wolf claims them and becomes their spirit guide. But the Old Ones have a task for the siblings and Mandy Stevens, a classmate who becomes their friend and then their lover, is key to it. They must lead the revolt of the animal kingdom against the corporate scorpion poised to sting Mother Earth in her most vulnerable place-the backbone of the Rocky Mountains. They must truly be three spirits in five bodies forming one fist to smash the scorpion.
