The Tombs of Anak (The Cooper Kids Adventure Series #3)
$5.99
The Third Book in Frank Peretti's "Cooper Kids" series. We were given the first 4 books by a friend and were extremely thankful. This time the Coopers are on an archeological dig in the Middle East at the behest of a couple of treasure hunters and run into a mis-guided pagan priestess and her Goliath-sized son. While we enjoyed the story, I felt that the writing was not up to par with the other three books that we have finished and the action surrounding central "Goliath" villain was somewhat scary and not really apprpriate for younger children.

As always Peretti treats the devout Christian lives of the Coopers as just another normal part of the story and, contrary to some Christian books, movies, or audio tapes that I've had, this aspect of their lives does not seem false or forced into the storyline in order to turn out a "Christian" product - when the Coopers stop to pray before making a tough decision it is an appropriate action that only helps to further the action. Reading some of the reviews for the other books in the series, I think it's pretty funny when some obviously atheist parent tags the book as a "stealth Christian product" when anyone who knows Peretti's works or spends more than 5 min reading the book realizes it isn't a stealth Christian book - it's an OVERT Christian book and proud of it.

Just as all the Cooper Kids books, the real message throughout the story is not the fantastic locales/enemies or gripping action and story telling, but the Christian values (faith, love, and perserverence immediately leap to mind) of the central characters. Always wonderful stories to be either read alone by your "tween" child (my 8 yr old could easly read the book alone - although I don't know if I'd let him), out loud at night as a bedtime story, or as part of a Bible curriculum for older homeschoolers.
