The author of this series is Frank Peretti. Of all the books that he has published, this is one of my favorites. This story is about three Christians named Dr. Cooper and his two kids, Jay and Lila. They go on an archeological dig in Central America in the tomb of an ancient warrior king with strange guards called Mucay-Tochetin, that wander around the land that surrounds the tomb. There are also flying slugs whose skin has slime on it that is as deadly as acid! Will they all fall under the curse, or will the caravies get them? Although this book has no illustrations, Frank may as well have done them himself with his awesome writing. The suspense will kill you as you turn the pages wondering if all of the Coopers will come out of each adventure alive! I liked this book as a Christian because Dr. Cooper shows strong faith in God. He turns to Him in his most weak moments and receives strength in one way or another. I strongly suggest reading this awesome book. It will make you perspirate with fear! I have read the book many times and this is worthy of a Newbery award. May the curse stay away from you!
It's Frank Peretti's brilliant novel writing skills...condensed! It's a super-cool family of archeologists--minus a mother--who investigate phenomena in the spirit of Indiana Jones, only with a Christian perspective. A nice alternative to the gore and junk in the Indiana Jones movies.This one will freak you out. A disease that makes anyone super-strong and loony as Michael Jackson (maybe even worse). This is one of the toughest battles the Coopers have had to fight before...can they survive The Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey?The book is cool, but loads of creepy stuff. There's a lot action too. Definitely lives up to the Cooper Kids genre that Peretti has going.Parental Warning: Almost Indiana Jones stuff here. Skeletons are everywhere, deadly, raving diseased people, Hostile Natives (of COURSE they'd have hostile natives!) and nasty "carvies". Pretty intense, but pretty cool.
Never in this book does Frank Peretti leave you yawning. He makes sure that the Coopers never lack excitement. I like how Dr. Cooper won't let his faith waver, even in the face of great temptation, and how he's always looking out for his children. I also like the bond that Jay and Lila share and how, unlike most siblings don't have a hint of a rivalry between them.
As a fan of all the other Cooper Kids Adventures books, I eagerly began to read this book. I had no idea that it would so intensely demand my attention.I practically inhaled every word that Frank Peretti wrote, turning each page as my anxiety mounted. Mr. Peretti has again woven a masterful tale full of action, suspense, and intensity. I would definitely recommend this book for middle school and high school aged students who are looking for a great book to keep them busy on a dull summer day. But be warned! You will NOT want to put this book down!My only problem with the Cooper Kids Adventures is that the books are too short. I devour each book in about a day, partly because they are so captivating and partly because they are so brief.Thank you again, Mr. Peretti! I have already read this book twice and will probably be reading it again in the near future.
This was my favorite series growing us, and I love that I can share in this experience with my children now! These books are amazing and subtly bring God in so the kids don't think they are reading the Bible, but they pick up of key elements of the Gospel!
This is such a good book…I mean so are all the other books. Whether you're a kid or an adult you're gonna love this book.So if you're thinking about reading this book,have no doubt that it will be good, as long as you don't mind a littlescare. It also is a good christian book,it's a good thing that Dr.Cooper put his trust in God.
This was definately the best book in the whole series. It's great the faith the father and children have in each other and in God.
I must admit I am not a fan of books for teens and YAs but there are exceptions and Frank Peretti's The Cooper Kids Adventures are the ones I just love! The Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey is one of my very favorites. It has a mystery, adventure and some treasure hunt, the deadly curse, strange creatures and ancient evil forces. This book is just super good!
