Publisher Description
The most exciting road trip in history begins!
In this action-packed, New York Times bestselling adventure,
twelve-year-old twins Coke and Pepsi McDonald embark on a family vacation
you'll have to read to believe.
Coke McDonald and
his twin sister, Pepsi, think their family’s cross-country RV vacation is
nothing to get excited about...until they’re chased off a cliff, locked in a burning
school, and receive mysterious messages in codes and ciphers. From California
to Wisconsin, it’s a race against time to find out who’s after Coke and Pep,
who’s leaving the notes...and just what being a part of The Genius Files
entails!
With the real-kid humor that has earned Dan Gutman millions
of fans around the world, and featuring weird-but-true American tourist
destinations, The Genius Files is a one-of-a-kind mix of
geography and fun.
As Coke and Pep dodge nefarious villains from the Pez museum
in California all the way to the Infinity Room in Wisconsin, black-and-white
photographs and maps put young readers right into the action.
And don't miss the next leg of the journey in The
Genius Files: Never Say Genius!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the first book in the Genius Files series, "almost-teenager" twins Coke and Pepsi get caught up in a secret society of brilliant kids chosen to save the nation from terrorists. With an abundance of photographs, clip art style illustrations, and reader-directed asides "Ordinarily in a story, this is where the author tells the readers what the main character... look like.... But you know what? Who cares?" Gutman unfolds his story quickly, and, within pages, readers will be invested in the twins' adventures. After learning someone wants to kill them, they set out on a cross-country RV trip with their parents, receiving death threats, meeting bad guys, and thwarting every evil plan, while making pit stops at such quirky (real) destinations as a Pez museum in Burlingame, Calif., and two gigantic balls of twine in Kansas and Minnesota. Coke and Pepsi are amusing (if accidental) heroes, and their parents are the perfect parody of clueless, overenthusiastic grownups. There is no shortage of humor or action, though the oddball brand of danger shouldn't frighten younger readers. All in all, Gutman continues to do what he does best: entertain readers. Ages 8 12.
