“Dan Gutman is a funny man and a prolific writer, and the Genius Files, his latest excursion into early teen adventure and absurdity, will likely find an immediate audience…A page turner.” Children’s Literature
Description
Coke and Pepsi McDonald didn't want to jump off a cliff.
They didn't want to get hit by poisoned darts from blowguns either. And they certainly don't want to get locked in their burning school, thrown into a pit at the top of a sand dune, or drowned in a vat of liquified SPAM. But what are you supposed to do when you're being chased across the country by your insane health teacher and two guys in bowler hats who are trying to kill you?
One thing is for sure, it will be a snap for Coke and Pep to write their essays on "How I Spent My Summer Vacation."
Want to join in the fun? Fire up the online maps and follow the McDonald twins as they get chased from the Pez museum to the largest ball of twine in the world.
Watch out for the Frisbee grenades!
