Representaion To 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.

Excellent. This was the first word that came to my mind when I finished. Granted this book really isn't for everybody. It's geared towards middle school aged boys, but I can say (at least in my case) it didn't lessen my enjoyment of the book. I should also mention that this is really a book for people who already are LDS members. Of course you can read it if your aren't but I doubt that it would be as entertaining. A lot of the funny moments wouldn't make sense and it's always a shame not to getfun to listen to with girls on Sundays
Reading it to Garrett for story time!
I guessed the day I read this.. I think it was my junior year. I believe I read most of the series. I relaly enjoyed these books. When i read the scriptures, i would incorporate the stories and imagine what i had imagined while reading the books. It really helped to keep me interested in the scriptures. It was pretty silly when the kids that i babysat were reading the same book. :)
This book was highly recommended to me with no doubt that I would really like it, and I did. It is a story about a Mormon boy named Jim who is making a hard time for himself, hanging out with the wrong friends and such. That is until he meets and hangs out with Garth who is almost the exact opposite of him; Garth being studious, openly friendly, and patient. The two, along with Jim's sister, are somehow transported into a different place and time; as the cover suggests its back in the time of

My fourth time "listening" to this book as we did it for our book club this month (all the other women who read it also liked it) so I'll be starting the series again. I usually do every few years so since it's been 1 1/2 years... I can't read them anymore because they're too addicting. Listening I still can clean and do things. Here's my review before if anyone's interested:You have to read this series! VERY ADDICTING! After staying up all night to read the first three in a few days time I had
