The Door in the Dragon's Throat
Book 1 of the The Cooper Kids Adventures series
128 pages · First published 1985
Dr. Jake Cooper and his teenage children travel to the Middle East to investigate an ancient door carved into a mountain and feared by local people as the entrance to a dragon’s throat. Their archaeological curiosity quickly brings them into conflict with a ruler who uses fear and religious claims to maintain control. Jay and Lila must survive imprisonment and danger while the family searches for the truth behind the mysterious site. Frank Peretti launches the Cooper Kids Adventure series with Christian suspense, archaeology, and a dramatic confrontation between faith and manipulated superstition.
