Description In Favor Of Books Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites (Tennis Shoes #1)
Jim Hawkins has a bad attitude. What's more, he enjoys having a bad attitude about everything--especially about church.
Garth Plimpton is a fanatic. He's spent so much time studying the scriptures and thick books on archaeology that that he can't carry on a normal conversation with other kids. That's why they consider him a nerd.
Through an unusual chain of events, these two opposites become fast friends. It all began when Garth told Jim a simple truth: "They really existed once, you know."
"Who?" Jim asked.
"Nephites," Garth replied. "Every character in the Book of Mormon ate, slept, died, was buried . . ."
That statement, taken for granted before, would soon echo deeply in the two boys' minds--because they were on the trail of a chilling secret.

Listened to the audio version of this with my kids - they loved it and all of them gave it 5⭐This was MUCH better than I thought it was going to be. I had avoided it for years because it looked like horrible Mormon fiction. The story is mostly well done, and I loved the little politics and bringing to life of Nephite life. The 2nd book was pretty over the top and unrealistic. (As in characters acting cheesy and stupid--not as in time traveling Book of Mormon characters.) So I don't know if I'll continue reading after Silver Sword.
I'm sorry but I just didn't like it. It was really dark and the kid was my age in the beginning of the book. I am LDS but this book was just to much for me. I mean he DRANK!!! I thought that was a little much because me, being 12, know a bunch of kids who would NEVER EVER do that. So I am sorry to the author and those who liked the book but this just wasn't my favorite. It was a little dark for me.
Not as good as I remembered, but since I read it the first time about 20 years ago, it doesn't surprise me that I am more critical of it as an adult reader. The ending felt abrupt and too convenient for the characters. But, that being said, I still enjoyed it. A good book to read while I feed the baby.
it makes you think how lucky we are to have the book of mormon.
Such a great book to read and helped me understand The Book of Mormon better. I highly recommend everyone to read it especially kids that know how to read another way of reading the Scriptures. I cant wait to get the next book and continue to read all of these books❗
