Review by Mike & Amy Nappa

Any fans of Indiana Jones will be thrilled with the latest additions to The Cooper Kids Adventure Series by Frank Peretti.

In The Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey readers join teenagers Jay and Lila Cooper on a treasure hunt into the jungles of Central America. Along with their archeologist father, the kids battle deadly bat-like creatures, hide from fierce natives, and search for the antidote for a malady that causes sudden insanity in those it strikes.

The Secret of the Desert Stone finds the Coopers investigating the mysterious origin of a massive stone in a tiny African nation. As a dangerous dictator threatens their lives, the family must trust God for protection, and they learn just how powerful God is. This book also gives a creative answer to the question of how God might reveal Himself to native tribes who never encounter the gospel message.

Mike and Amy Nappa both write an review many books for Christian readers.
