Will this appeal to a non-Mormon? I think it sounds like a good book, but not it I'm going to be totally confused. :)

I am reading the Children of the Promise series, (another LDS fiction series), and I LOVE it. But I am hesitant to go into this one, partially because my mom says that the writing isn't all that good...does this series compare to the Children of the Promise series? Should I read it?

But I would encourage reading this book, if only just to try it out. I loved it because it really gives you a different perspective on the stories and characters in the Book of Mormon. It helps them become more real and relatable. This book is a different style from Children of the Promise, as it is written for a slightly younger audience and is more of an adventure type of story. But I loved it all the same and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys LDS fiction!(less)

I read the first third of this book before having my 9 year old daughter read it. I am a bit appalled so far by the main character, Jim. He has a terrible attitude, is sarcastic, and disrespectful to parents, grandma, and teachers, etc. So far he is a terrible role model, even after he ditches his bully friends. Does he ever becomes a good role model? I don't want my kids reading 12 books about this kid if he doesn't.

Chelsie He definitely improves as a character. Also, he's college-aged in book 2. …moreHe definitely improves as a character. Also, he's college-aged in book 2. (less)

Is the book of Mormon treated as fiction in this series (what it obviously is) or are we supposed to take it seriously?

This story is fiction set among the time period and events of the Book of Mormon. Just like historical novels set among real events that happened in history. (less)

Will this book cause you to deny obvious medical information, not get vaccinated and perhaps die or be permanently crippled by damaged lungs and other long haul symptoms? Because I don't want that for my kids, nor would I want to cause such death and destruction to others by posting socio-political nonsense to mislead. Repentance is called for. IMHO.
