Book Description: Micah and Alicia are excited to meet John Taylor as a child in England. But when their phone won't let them return to their own time, the'll follow the prophet around the world, learning some important lessons along the way. Humorous, entertaining, and informative, this book is a wonderful introduction to church history that's bound to be a family favorite!
My thoughts: Micah and Alicia are set for another adventure. They have just learned about the LDS prophet John Taylor and want to visit him in England as a boy. It's just supposed to be a quick trip and they're even going to bring their dad. No problems! Right?
This book is a great book for middle grade readers. It''s full of imagination and facts about life in the 1800's.
The main characters Micah and Alicia are main characters that kids will like. They are good kids who just want to get home. I know I would love to visit the 1800's but I wouldn't like to be stuck there. This is an adventure that will keep your kids attention. It will also keep them wondering about the puzzle that needs to be solved and the lessons that need to be learned. The kids develop stronger faith and learn some wonderful lessons.
I love that they can see that people they look up to in history were once children. div>

While hunting for the puzzle pieces, they land in France with adead phone battery—and Micah is in a dress! What else can go wrong?
This wassuch a fun book to write. I enjoy doing the research. It’s a blessing for me tolearn about our modern-day prophets.
