Customer Review: Lots more random action
Sometimes I think that the Tennis Shoes series should have ended with “The Golden Crown”. Not to say that this next section of the series isn’t most exciting, but this book is not up to par with the rest of the series and is sadly rather average.

Kingdoms and Conquerors (Tennis Shoes Adventures) Customer Review: Unending dazzlement
I think this is where the Tennis Shoes characters reach their maximum awesomeness. The various plots of earlier in the series continue with exciting and intriguing new developments, and there’s even plenty of bones for the hopeless romantics. Heimerdinger’s stylized and fictionalized view of history continues to amaze, as well do his handy notes that are included in the back.
Customer Review: Great book!
I have read all of the Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites Series, and I have enjoyed them all! But I think that Chris Heimerdinger gets better at writing these as he goes. I like how the stories from the past are brought into the new ones. He puts his characters in many different scriptural settings in his books, he puts them in the Bible in Old Testament times, New Testament times, and Book of Mormon times. This book in particular, I think is the best one yet. But don’t get this book if you haven’t read his other preceding books first or this one won’t make much sense. I look forward to the next book coming out next year.

Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites Customer Review: LDS classic
So this is pretty much a classic among LDS kids’ literature. Heimerdinger’s voice is fun and observant and makes sure to get inside his characters’ heads. It’s also just a great little adventure into Book of Mormon times. The rest of the series has its understandable ups and downs, but this one can stand on its own with power and respectability for doing what all novels should do: tell a a great story.
Customer Review: These Tennis Shoes Rock!
Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites
A book by Chris Heimerdinger
The Tennis Shoes series is originally about a boy who travels back in time to an ancient civilization called the Nephites (a people whose writings make the “Book of Mormon”, which is a book the religious people called “Mormons” or the “L.D.S.” people base their beliefs). Armed with modern gadgets, the boy, named Jim, his sister Jenny, and their enemy-turned-friend, Garth, are out for the adventure of their lives.
When Garth finds an ancient cave, which he believes holds hieroglyphs made by the Nephites, he begs Jim and Jenny to come along. When they reluctantly agree, they find themselves sucked into a whirlpool of a lake, which they are manipulated by and finally spewed out on a waterfall. Where they are, they have no idea.
The three-some suddenly realize they are in a world where there is no electricity, no cars, no boats, not anything! Jim finds out that they are in the world of the Nephites. How can they get home? How can they make friends with these nomadic people? How can they make sure that they don’t get eaten by wild beasts? Read this book and you will be hooked until the very end!
“Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites” is only the first of ten books! In the next nine, Jim’s family and friends also find this historic cave, but it doesn’t only take them to the land of the Nephites! Read these books to find adventures in Mexico, ancient Rome, the Mayan empire, ancient Babylon, and much, much more!
