Dakota Knox & the Archaeology Thief (Book 1)

Pretty fun book to read about Israel and the archaeological artifacts surrounding the Bible.

I loved this book because it keeps you on your toes, is edifying and family friendly, and drops some great truth nuggets throughout the story. I recommend this book for family reading, as well as for young teens and teenagers who are looking for good, clean, edifying books.

I picked it up to review and have in my library for youth books. I really enjoy the detailed descriptions of Israel locations and artifacts. Perfect book for middle school through high school age! The story engages the reader through historical events with a mystery crime solving twist. I loved the mention of author cameos.

My grandson - who lives in Norway with his parents (church planting missionaries) . . . He has some reading issues but when we brought it to him on our last visit he took it and read it non-stop!! My son said he's never seen that before! He was 11 at the time, and when I mentioned there might be a slight romantic thread in it - he said he didn't mind that :)

My children and I loved Dakota Knox and the Archaeology Thief. We live in Southern California, so a lot of Charlie’s references were so neat to my children. I have a 16 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. They were able to relate to the characters. We love history, especially Bible history . . . Thank you for blessing us this summer!

If you are craving edge-of-your-seat excitement, irresistible intrigue, imperfect ROLE models, a sprinking of romance and a whole lot of faith - all in factual fiction - look no further. This book is simply exquisite, sublime as a matter of fact. I loved how productive I felt learning things while enjoying myself as I breezed through this book in 1 day - I just COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN! Charlie Campbell truly is remarkable at writing a relatable yet universal story, while keeping it short & spicy :) I was vastly impressed by the progression of the plot line, the depth of the characters.. I could go on and on. This book is one of a kind - perfect for a Christian (or nonChristian) teen like me looking for an exciting, educational, and fast read. Also, as a side note, I LOVE the little romance action Charlie added. It was the golden mean of not being too soon or mushy, but still sweet. Definitely one of the things I can't wait to read more of in Part 2! I'm rooting for them so hard (won't say names), but it's adorable. Thanks for reading this review; please order Dakota Knox and the Archaeology Thief - you won't regret it!

Read it in a day. Loved it. Excited to get the next installment.

I loved it! I finished it the day I got it! . . . I LOVED the romance between Dakota and Afton!

My dad read your book to me and my brother and we loved it. It was a fun way to spend time with our dad. I am so excited for the next Dakota Knox and the Archaeology Thief. It was a great book. It's one of the best books I have read. I pray God will continue to guide you to write more books so more people grow closer to Him.

I was looking forward to a fiction adventure book and you didn't disappoint. I started reading it this morning and I just finished it. Such a good read, I love the characters and the history of the artifacts that was incorporated in the book. I also really enjoyed the relationship that Dakota and Afton have with our Father God. I will definitely be reading this again. And I can't wait for the next story.

I enjoyed reading this book. It is full of interesting facts about historical artifacts with an adventurous storyline.

My 10 yr old son devoured this book and is begging for more to the story! We can’t wait for the next one to come out! Thanks for listening to the call to write this fantastic novel!
