Posted by: Mr.Tennis in Tennis Shoes 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.
This fresh plot, however, happily brings in characters that have been pretty much ignored earlier in the series, and the catalyst that gets our characters is moving is probably one of the more exciting plot devices. A Lagoon parking lot kidnapping, of all things. Boy, that poor Hawkins clan.
I think the biggest problem is that this story tries to do too much all at once.
Sure, it’s exciting, sure, these are extremely well-written characters, but sometimes it’s best to narrow things down.
Still, it’s nice to see all the fun Book of Mormon/Biblical landscapes and scenarios, and, gosh darn it, I love these characters and I love Heimerdinger’s snappy writing.
Customer Review: Good Read!
I love the research notes - well thought out - always keeps you in suspense.
