Warriors of Cumorah (Heimerdinger, Chris. Tennis Shoes Series.) When Becky and Josh Plimpton are kidnapped by Todd Finlay, Megan and her two suitors, Ryan and Apollus, attempt to rescue them, but through the mysterious powers of the Rainbow Room, one group ends up in nineteenth-century Jerusalem and the other in central America hundreds of years after the visitation of the Savior to the Nephites.
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.

Tower of Thunder (Heimerdinger, Chris. Tennis Shoes Series, 9.) Customer Review: Fun as always
This book is almost an apology for the so-so predecessor “Warriors of Cumorah”. It introduces plenty of that classic Tennis Shoes adventure and awesome characterizations as it explores that crazy time period of the Tower of Babel and the days before that final battle of Captain Moroni. Again, Heimerdinger goes overboard with some hokey plot devices, but it’s all so well-written that I was able to forgive him.
Customer Review: Like the Tower of Babel, these books are becoming simply TOO spectacular.
I’m sorry, but I have to admit it publicly: I’m starting to be disappointed with this series. Blasphemy, I know. How can I possibly remain a faithful Latter-day Saint and have such an opinion? I don’t have an answer to that.
