The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable by Dan Gutman
4.0
The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable is a fun read for boys and girls.
Not only is it full of adventure, but also fun facts about the US as we
follow the two main characters across the US.
In eight days, twins Coke and Pepsi (or Pep) are very smart children. From
the very beginning of the book there is a lot of action as Coke and Pep go
on the run from people who are trying to kill them. Later in the book,
they learn that they are part of a group called The Genius Files but they
didn't know this. Some people don't like The Genius Files and want to
destroy it so they are trying to kill the kids who are involved.
Since it's the end of the school year, their parents have planned a cross
country trip from California to their Aunts wedding in Washington DC. The
readers get to go along to all sorts of places like the Pez museum, The
National Yo-yo museum, visit the singing sand dunes, the biggest ball of
twine and more. (Note: their mother runs an online site called "Amazing
But True" and is very much interested in oddball places).
While the adventure part is pretty predictable, it's still a fun read kids
will enjoy and they can then check out the very real places being visited
by the twins and discover all sorts of odd facts themselves.
Fans of Dan Gutman will quickly become fans of Coke and Pep as they thwart
the killers. It's adventure. It's fun. And it's full of interesting facts
all rolled into one book.
