About the Author

Pete Hautman divides his time between the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and the shores of Lake Pepin in southwestern Wisconsin. He is the author of two young adult novels: Mr. Was, which was nominated for an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America, and Stone Cold, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. He has also written several adult novels, including Mrs. Million, Ring Game, and The Mortal Nuts.

Where did Pete Hautman get the idea for Hole in the Sky? "Ten years ago, an archaeologist friend gave me a photograph of a thirty-foot-high travertine limestone dome in the Little Colorado River gorge. He told me that the dome was sacred to the Hopi, and that it was called the Sipapuni. I kept the photo displayed on the wall above my writing desk for years. I knew that one day I would write a story about it. This is it."
