Description

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 lined with gold. Such is the life of a junior archaelogist. Yet when you're in pursuit of the legendary lost tomb of Genghis Khan, you have to expect a challenge or two. Complete with a cast of funny, kid-friendly characters reminiscent of The Goonies, and a quest to discover ancient secrets that calls to mind Indiana Jones and James Patterson's Treasure Hunters, Addison strikes gold once again in his second adventure. "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 Khanisperfect for fans of Indiana Jones, ancient history, and James Patterson's Treasure Hunters series.
