This story focuses on the time a few years after the Title of Liberty was raised by Captain Moroni. a couple of kids going back in time among the Nephites and Lamanites of old to experience their hardships, learn to apply touch lessons into their lives, and learn to love The Book of Mormon. If I were to rate this book out of 5 stars, I would rate it a definite 4. It was hard to put down at times but wasn't the best book I have ever read. This book was very enjoyable and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. So they have to save her while other bad and scary things happen like when some guys said that they would kill the captain of the Nephites, Captain Moroni. As Garth and Jim put the pieces of the puzzle together, they accidentally stumble upon a mysterious passageway, hurling them into another world - an Ancient American world.Īs Garth and Jim are hurled into this weird world, Jim's little sister, who came along and got thrown into the Ancient world, gets taken away by the Lamanites. At the root of this secret was a faded Indian legend that old men told to children to make their eyes grow big. That statement, taken for granted before, would soon echo deeply into the two boys' minds - because they were on the trail of a chilling secret. 'Every character in the Book of Mormon ate, slept, died, and was buried.' It all began when Garth told Jim the simple truth: Through an unusual chain of events though, these two opposites become fast friends. He's spent so much time studying that scriptures and thick books that he can not carry on a normal conversation with the other kids.

But Garth Plimpton is a fanatic of church. What's more, is that he enjoys having a bad attitude - about everything - especially about church. He, on the other hand, is totally opposite of Jim.
