Description Toward Books The Lost Scrolls (Tennis Shoes #6)
I find that Heimerdinger’s formula is starting to tire me. A significant number of the decisions that the characters make seem to have no other reason than to place them in the best position to observe some recorded historical event or meet some famous person.Meagan now sounds exactly like Melody did in the previous books. She even says things like “the good part… that is the part about me,” which is annoying and totally out of character for the mouthy, rebellious, Goth girl of the previous book.
People in Heimerdinger’s books seem incapable of meeting a person of the opposite sex without falling hopelessly in love. Meagan meets a Centurion named Apollus Brutus Severillus (a really cool name), who happens to be the only Roman soldier who is competent, and is immediately convinced that he is the man of her dreams. In fact two days later she laments that it might tear her heart in two to leave him. At least Harry spends more than two days with Mary before he is willing to declare his undying love. This wouldn’t be so unrealistic – teenagers develop crushes on people quite frequently – if any of them ever got over it. Sometimes years will pass without any of the characters seeing or hearing from each other and they will still spend their days pining away in the hopes that they will see each other again.
I guess the whole thing just starts to feel really melodramatic and contrived to me. Nobody ever sees their old boy/girlfriend after x number of years to discover that they have moved on. Much hijinx ensue but in the end the character that is telling the story always ends up with the person whom they most obsess over.
This is getting into uncharted territory here – I really don’t remember the books from here out and the next one is the last one that I’ve read before – but it feels to me that Heimerdinger is slipping a little. The stories are still full of grand adventure and great historical and scriptural detail. This book was fun but frustrating. That frustrating bit of saccharine tidiness that puts every character where they are the happiest in the end is what I find to be the biggest detriment to these books being really good rather than generally entertaining.

This book was riveting. I got uncomfortable it was so exciting. Everything worked into place by the end of the book. It was very, very interesting. I also got a glimpse of apostasy and how it could have taken place within the early Church after Christ's death. It portrayed the fall of Jerusalem being held by the Zealot faction of the Jews and being taken by the Roman soldiers. It was a time falling into darkness. The bad guys in this were really gruesome. Another good Heimerdinger book.My family and I are reading theses books together and we are loving them. This was another great book in the series.
OK, let me get this straight. Harry at the age of 15 goes back in time and gets stuck in ancient Greece for three years. But only 6 months has passed in modern time. So, Harry comes back after being gone for 6 months and is suddenly three years older. This doesnt raise any eyebrows? He than decides to go serve his mission. Hold on, even though he has aged 3 years he is still only legally 15 or 16. Shouldnt his Bishop be a little confused? Oh, and what ever happened to high school? I guess Harry
As always, Chris Heimerdinger does it again. I am really enjoying this series.
Fallow the story of harry and megan to survive in Rome, 70 A.D. But things are looking kinda grim. Megan and Jess are still in the handds of Simon Mags and his evil men. harry and gidgiddoniah must find the knowlege scrollin jerselem, a war zone, full of death and disaster, and not to make things worse they have to do it in less than 10 days and find some mountain. Megan and Jess are able to escape, and find themselfes with help of the Romen army. Along the way there is adventure around every
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.
I first encountered "The Lost Scrolls" as a missionary many years ago. Arriving in a new area, I found the audiobook on cassette in a desk drawer of my apartment, presumably left there by a previous missionary serving in the area. With not a lot of fiction books allowed or available for me to read. I decided to give the book a try and started listening to it each night before going to bed. I remember finishing it rather quickly and really enjoying it.Flash forward over a decade later, where I
