This book is historical fiction. Historical fiction is about true historical facts with some fictional (made up) characters involved in the story.

This book is about Joseph Smith. In this book Joseph Smith is in his 20's. He is hired to work on the Steed (fictional family) family property. Joseph Smith is teased and made fun of, because he is translating "gold plates", but a lot of people call it the "gold bible". He is made fun of for his vision of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The Steed family do not know his story, but Nathan Steed begins to be friends with Joseph and later in the story asks Joseph about these things. Joshua is the oldest in the Steed family. He's really stubborn. He doesn't listen to his parents. He likes a girl named Lydia. She is the daughter of Josiah and Hannah McBride, important members of the local Presbyterian Church. Lydia and Joshua start to meet each other and Lydia's parents don't like the Steed family very much because they hired Joseph Smith. Joshua meets some friends who are not very good people and Lydia doesn't like that he's changed. One night Joshua wants Lydia to come with him to steal the "gold bible" from Joseph Smith. Lydia goes to the Steeds and tells them what Joshua is doing. Benjamin Steed (father) and Nathan Steed (brother) go in search of Joshua...

This book is written for Teens and older, but I really wanted to read it. It is a good book with lost of twists and turns and it is fun to learn about Joseph Smith. I plan on reading the whole series. I'm not sure I will blog about the whole series. Tell me what you think?
