 My review
I rate this Book 7 out of 10 (really good)
 This book was a very good book set in the land of the middle east. The Book starts by a very wealthy, greedy, conceited president called Al-Dallam, dreaming about getting richer and richer. He has always wanted to have all of the 'treasure' which he thought was behind the doors in the cavern but no one has been able to open the door to get to this 'treasure'. Finally he discovered the Cooper family who agreed that they would try and open the door in the dragons throat, Even though most of the people that went into the dragons throat never came back alive. This is how the adventure Begins.....
It was a little bit confusing in one or two of the paragraphs but I just re-read the few confusing parts and then I Understood the meaning.

On the Book it says ages 8-12 but I am 13 and I enjoyed reading it and I think that you will too!

My review 
I Rate this book 6 out of 10
The tombs Of Anak was a great book about how the coopers managed to save a whole village of people who were in the shadow of an evil giant who was causing all of the villagers to live in fear. The Coopers brought most of the villagers to the lord which was great but there was still some people that didn't receive Gods love. Jay and Lila unfortunately got 'kidnaped' by the giant but... just managed to stay alive through out all of the traps they landed themselves in!

 Unfortunately this is the last book I am going to be reading out of this awesome series, because I only had the first three but I am sure you will enjoy reading them all!!
Cya soon, Courtney
