The Tennis Shoes Series-Chris Hiemerdinger

If I could pick ONE series for my children to read and read and read again and again. This would be it, no doubt.
Chris Hiemerdinger is a genius. The way he weaves the story lines and makes the Book of Mormon so dang interesting it astounding.
The first book- Tennis Shoes and the Nephites. Jim and his friend Garth find a cave with a portal that makes it so they can travel back in time...
The rest of the books, more adventures. We listened to all of them on CD/tape. They are read by the author, who in my opinion has the best voice EVER for these books. It's just cool to listen to him. The books aren't a hard reading level, but there are many names that I would have never been able to pronounce if I had not heard him say them before.
We originally checked these out from the library. But I have purchased most of them and they are worth the money. My boys love to listen to books as they go to sleep at night. Do you think this would count as personal scripture study? What more could a mother ask for! (of course I know this is fiction but it makes the scriptures fun and exciting!)
