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.

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!

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.

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.

My skin crawled at times in reading this but I don't mean that in a bad way. The curse of Toco-Rey involves these slimy creatures that if they get on you can basically make you go crazy and with the way that Peretti describes them just made my skin crawl.

This was a good book. It reminded me of the stories where someone tries to create a toxin of some kind to create an army or to whip out a number of people without having an army. It was the same thing here. The Cooper's were brought in to find a treasure and hopefully find why the last group that had been brought in was murdered in the process. Because of the storyline there was plenty of action to keep the pace going. Things came down to minutes or seconds of people needing to find each other and in that time you can feel your heart speed up getting caught up in the story cheering them on to find the other.

This story was beautifully written. It doesn't fail to suck you in just like any of Peretti's work. This is book six in the series and it is one of my favorites.

Of all the Frank Peretti books that I have read, this is my favorite. It's easy to read and follow and the story is scary and exciting. The mysteries and the plot twists make sure that you won't put it down until the very last page. The vivid descrpitons make you feel like you're really there! I can totally read this book over and over and over again, and you should read it too.

I'm a huge Cooper Kids fan. Anyone--young or old--who likes adventure, will love these books. They are innovative and contain incredible plots. In this particular one, a motherless archaeological family plunges into the jungles of Central America to unearth an ancient--and utterly evil--Mayan secret. Surrounded by faceless enemies, they battle the sinister forces of nature and of man's depraved heart. This is an excellent book, tied with THE TOMBS OF ANAK. READ IT! (And check out the other CooperKids books, too).

This is a moral (as in clean) and exciting action story we read to our 6 year old son. It depicts the deep love of a father for his children and their trust in him which is a reflection on the relationship Christians have with their Heavenly Father. Each chapter leaves you hanging, so it is hard to stop after one chapter and the unusual creature that is featured in the story, provokes lots of discussion. This is the 6th book in the Cooper Kids Adventure Series and is one of our favorites

DR.Cooper and his 2 children are looking for an anchent kingdom they run into many problems along the way even close to death.Will theyre trust in god save them?Youll have to read it tofind out!

This book is one of my favorites in the entire world.Frank Peretti is a tremendous author and when he leaves you hanging you're anxious to turn the page.I have read most of the series and would like to continue reading it.
