Tennis Shoes and the Feathered Serpent

This Book is yet another adventure of Jim hawkins but this time he has 3 kids. Melody gets kidnapped by Boaz, an old foe from many years ago, and is taken back into time to where Nephite and laminites walked the earth. Jim needs to go back into time, but this time, needs to nt only rescue his own daughter, but also find out what has happened to his sister and her husband and find out if they were still alive today. Join the adventure once more on an admazing journey to the time when Christ visits the earth. "The time of the Feathered Serpent."

This has to be my favorite of the Tennis Shoes series. It takes place years after "Gadiantons" and shoves us into the world of the very much adult Jim and his family. Jim has recently lost his wife, and the kids aren't holding together well. His sister and brother-in-law have disappeared. To top it all off, Jim is accused of murder. Exciting time for the Hawkins clan. As for the history, it takes us back to the days in America right before the coming of Christ. Setting: the wicked city of Jacobah. It's a passionate and wild jungle setting. The pace is fast, and Heimerdinger actually let a different character help narrating (he continues to do this the rest of the series, and it's fun!) There is danger, heartache, and romance, everything we need for a great adventure.

This is a wonderful book. It is a must have. If you haven't read it, READ IT! I couldn't put it down. Every night I stayed up late and read it. It was wonderful. I am going to try to read Chris' whole collection of Tennis Shoes books. I have already listened to all of the tapes, but they are abridged and not as good. This book is great. It reflects very much on my religion. It is a great book. You NEED to read it if you already haven't!

Once again Chris Heimerdinger has written a terrific book that won't let you put it down.

This book was almost as good as Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites. Chris Heimerdinger really knows how to get you interested. This and the other books of his are very good.
