"Addison Cooke is Indiana Jones and James Bond rolled into one for the middle-grades set."—Booklist
Addison Cooke's second laugh-out-loud adventure—a journey through Asia in pursuit of the legendary tomb of Genghis Khan!
Fresh off of a victorious treasure hunt and rescue mission in South America, Addison Cooke just can't seem to steer clear of rogue bandits, pesky booby traps, and secret treasure troves. But it sure beats sitting around in school all day.
Addison's aunt and uncle, on the other hand, are none too happy about their habit of attracting kidnappers. When they become pawns in a dangerous gang's plan to steal the most prized possession of the notorious Mongolian leader Genghis Khan, Addison and his friends find themselves once again caught in the middle of a multi-million-dollar international heist. Armed with nothing but their wits and thirst for adventure, they travel across Asia in an attempt to rescue Addison's family and stop the treasure from falling into the wrong hands.
Brimming with round-the-clock action and tons of laughter, Addison Cooke and the Tomb of the Khan is perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, ancient history, and James Patterson’s Treasure Hunters series.

      Pompous, pedantic, school-blazer-sporting Addison Cooke is off to the Gobi Desert.Addison's archaeologist aunt and uncle are going on a dig in China, but their colleague has something else in mind: find the secret hoard of Genghis Khan. When his aunt and uncle are kidnapped by a Chinese gang, it's up to the Gershwin-loving, 13-year-old white boy and his entourage to save them. The story is bloated with what seems like every adventure trope and plot device in existence, including colonizing attitudes, a "city of the dead," a trail of cryptic clues leading to an ancient treasure hidden deep beneath a cave, a soothsaying shaman (who speaks the "sacred language" of English), a legacy to save the world, and the piece de resistance: a prophecy involving the hero's death. Constant reference to the group as Addison's "team" implies hierarchy: a white boy in charge of a white girl and two male ethnic others. There's Addison's sister, Molly, and his best friends, Eddie Chang, a feminized Chinese boy afraid of his own shadow, and Indian Raj Bhandari, a camo-wearing survival expert. The third-person narrative is from bumptious Addison's viewpoint, with some miscellaneous hopping into other characters' heads for a beat or two. Despite fast-paced action scenes dominating the nearly 500 pages, it's still a slog.Been there, done that. (Adventure. 8-13)

      Whip-smart thirteen-year-old Addison, his younger sister, and his two best friends embark on another Indiana Jonesstyle adventure (�cf2]Addison Cooke and the Treasure of the Incas�cf1]), this time searching for the tomb of Genghis Khan across Asia. Nonstop action and banter prevail as the children battle gangsters and outsmart villains. Despite a clichid plot and abundant stereotypes, readers will enjoy the antics and adventure.
