This was a re-read for our family. We listened to this book years ago on a road trip, but most of us had forgotten much of the details. I read it aloud to three of my kids. It takes place in Cody, Wyoming, which is where the author grew up. The landmarks that are talked about are all familiar to me and our family which was fun. This is the beginning of a series, Tennis Shoes Adventures Series. In each of the books young teenagers travel back in time to ancient America during the era of the people recorded in The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. In this first book they enter during the war chapters of the Book of Mormon with Captain Moroni, Teancum, and Amalakiah. They interact with the characters, but the author does not alter the recorded happenings in the Book of Mormon. It was fun to read and realize some of the things that were going to happen, but also see how the time travel characters were woven into their lives.
