After
learning about pioneers in their Primary class, twins Nathan and Aria
end up in the gym after church, waiting for their mother. When a game of
tag takes them to the space underneath the stage, they soon find
themselves at the end of a long tunnel, where a cave opens up and they
meet a pioneer boy their age by the name of Joseph F. In Book 1, Pioneer Puzzle,
Nathan and Aria learn to gather firewood, milk cows, and round up
missing oxen as they discover what it really means to be a pioneer.
Book 2, Escape from Egypt,
finds the twins in ancient Egypt. All dressed up as pioneers, Nathan
and Aria head through the tunnel again. But this time, they find
themselves in Egypt on the eve of the Exodus. Excitement turns to fear
when the twins must decide if they should head back through the tunnel
to escape Pharaoh's army, or help an Israelite boy who has been left
behind.
- A great way to get beginning readers interested in the scriptures and Church history.
- Fun Facts and Author s Notes give readers the "real scoop" behind the stories. For example, in Book 1: Pioneer Puzzle,
readers can learn more about the boy, Joseph F., and how he would
become the sixth prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints--Joseph F. Smith.
- A delightful read for all ages.
Book 3 - Journey to Jerusalem:
The excitement continues for twins Nathan and Aria as they crawl
under the cultural hall stage and through the Enchanted Tunnel into two
new adventures. In book 3, Journey to Jerusalem, Nathan and Aria head to
the Far East and Solomon s Temple, where they hear twelve-year old Jesus
teaching the priests.
