Jim Hawkins has a bad attitude. What's more, he enjoys having a bad attitude about everything-especialy about church.
Garth Plimpton is a fanatic. He's spent so much time studying the scriptures and thick books on archeology that he can't carry on a normal conversation with other kids. That's why they consider him a nerd.
Through an unusual chain of events these two opposites become fast friends. It all began whe Garth told jim a simple truth.
"They really existed once, you know."
"who?" Jim asked
"Nephites," Garth replied. "Every charactor in the Book of Mormon ate, slept,died, was buried..."
That statement, taken for granted befor, would soon echo deeply in the two boy's minds-bacause they were on the trail af a chilling secret. At the root of this secret was a faded indean legend that old men told children to make their eyes grow big. As Garth and Jim put the pieces of the puzzle together, they accedently stumble upon a mysterious passageway hurling them into another world-an acient American world.
Join Jim, Garth, and Jim's pesky little sister, Jennifer, as they journey in a land where the names Hlaman, Teancum, and Capton Moroni are maroe than just words on a page. A world where danger and suspence are a way of life...
