Kingdoms and Conquerors (Tennis Shoes #10)
This is a fantastic book with lots of action and great imagination as it courses through scriptural history. The scenes going down the rapids of a Central American river as the enemy warriors hunt them is exciting. Adding Pagag, a Jaredite, to the mix is great. The romance of Megan and him make for a good time. To have all this action in one book is surely exciting with so many characters taking part makes for a super, action-packed book. The battle of two unknowing warriors, Giddidonihah and
Granted, when I started Book 10, I was in college, and past my days of reading YA novels. However, something about this book felt heavy handed, over worked, and totally and completely grasping at straws. To be perfectly honest, it never got finished. I don't know what's up with Heimerdinger and the fact that he has not published in some time, but this book killed my interest in the time traveling Hawkins clans. The magic was gone.
This is another great time - traveling adventure where the Hawkins family goes to the Holy Land near the time of Christs life. They must deal with Barrabas.
Mildly entertaining. Like the other books in the series, it is really directed at a young teenager (or younger) age group. I read this and subsequent books in the series at the insistence of my daughter who was a big fan. Though I enjoyed them, I appreciated them even more because they served as a catalyst for discussing related doctrinal concepts and concerns with my daughter, and later my son.
These are beginning to blur together for me and it makes it almost impossible to give each one a fair review on its own. I enjoyed this one more than #9, however, although it's just as chaotic and over-the-top. One thing we gained here is a character who isn't perfect in his testimony along with one who rejects the gospel entirely. Up until now, every main character has been virtually doubt-free, and that's even more unrealistic than floating cities or sorcery. It's nice to see someone who is
The next book in the Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites series, this book finds all but Jim and his sister, in the land of the Nephites and all at the same time. They must find each other, however, which becomes increasingly difficult, as they are in a time of great war and chaos. Amidst their many challenges, they finally find Joshua, who was taken in the previous book, but he is not the same child that they knew.I enjoyed this book a lot, more than the previous book in fact. It definitely leaves

I give this about 3.5 stars. 3 because I thought there were too many characters and branches off the story to remember and keep track of everyone. But, each branch of storyline was pretty captivating actually which is why I'd give it 4 stars. I loved the duel fighting scene towards the end of the book. A nail biter!This is a fantastic book with lots of action and great imagination as it courses through scriptural history.
