- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My recollection of this book (and its entire series) is indistinct, but positive. In my memory the stories they tell are a cheesier version of Indiana Jones which include a large family of varied children.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My parents read me this series when I was a child. It’s obvious Peretti saw Raiders and wanted to do a Christian family version. Honestly he’s not far off. These books are still pretty great. If you don’t like Jesus then better pass because he gets mentioned a lot. They’re very pre mil Evangelical pietist, which is basically what I am, so I love them. For me these are up there with Narnia. Wonderful Christ centered adventure stories.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Will keep you on the edge of your seat! Fun adventure for the whole family.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book! I’m glad there is more in the series!!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was intrigued with the Biblical archeology when I first read this book years ago. Upon rereading it, I didn't find it as fascinating as I did that first time through. I am passing this series on to my nephew and hope he likes the adventure in them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gripping story. Consistently excellent narration by the author, Frank Peretti.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Cooper Kid Series by Peretti is essentially a Christian Indiana Jones series for elementary kids. And it's marvelous! A bit dated (they were written in the 80s), but still worth reading. In particular, if you have boys who hate reading, this is a good start. They stories are fast-paced, with lots of action and plot twists and imminent danger and daring deeds of courage! I recommend for anyone, but in particular Christian parents who are looking for good books for their children.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kept me on the edge of my seat! Couldn't put it down!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the first book in the Cooper kid series. It reminded me of a cross between Indiana Jones, The Mummy (I and II with Brendan Fraser) and Supernatural. It was a short book so the characters tended to be flat, with no arch or growth to them. God is a central part of this story and that may turn some people off. That being said The story was a nice adventure story, with enough suspense to keep the reader engaged.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5fantastic book. I made my son read the paperback first and this further animated it in his mind. He is off to book 2 in the cooper kids now!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was creepy and fun to listen to. I loved it!
