The most exciting road trip in history has reached its final destination! In this fifth book in the thrilling, New York Times bestselling adventure series, Coke and Pepsi McDonald make it back home to the West Coast—but they’re far from home free!

When we last left our heroes, Coke and Pepsi McDonald were in Roswell, New Mexico, and they had just seen a strange beam of light. Now their cross-country road trip is about to take a detour that's out of this world—literally!

Once the twins get their feet back on the ground, they embark on the final leg of their trip, which will take them from the Hoover Dam all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. Chased by nefarious villains, the twins will be trapped with a venomous snake, pushed through a deadly turbine, and thrown into a volcano. And craziest of all, their parents might finally believe them!

With Dan Gutman’s laugh-out-loud humor and featuring photos and weird-but-true American tourist destinations like the Alien Fresh Jerky Stand, The Genius Files is a one-of-a-kind mix of geography and fun.

From the Back Cover

The wackiest road trip in history has reached its final destination. . . .

But Coke and Pepsi McDonald aren't in the clear just yet! Before they reach the finish line, the twins will be

Abducted by aliens,
Trapped with a venomous snake,
Pushed through a deadly turbine, and
Thrown into a volcano.
Craziest of all, their parents might finally believe them!

Will the twins make it back home to California in one piece, or will they fall off the top of the Golden Gate Bridge? It's all coming to an end with this fifth book in the Genius Files series. You'll have to read it to believe it!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in a log cabin in Illinois and used to write by candlelight with a piece of chalk on a shovel. Oh, wait a minute. That was Abraham Lincoln.

Actually, I’m a children's book author. I’ve written more than 170 books for kids from kindergarten up to middle school.

For the little ones, I write picture books like "Rappy the Raptor," about a rapping raptor named Rappy, who raps.

For beginning readers, I write "My Weird School," about some kids who go to a school in which all the grownups are crazy. Thirty-one million copies have been sold. I also write “Wait! WHAT?” a series of biographies that focus on the unusual aspects of people like Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali, and Teddy Roosevelt.

For middle-graders, I write the baseball card adventure series, about a boy who has the power to travel through time using a baseball card like a time machine. He goes on adventures with players like Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and others.

For advanced readers, I write "The Genius Files," "Flashback Four,” “Houdini and Me” and others.

A really good book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2015

I bought this for my nine year old son who says this is a really good book. He did say you need to read the earlier books in the series for it to make sense.

Sad to See it End

Reviewed in the United States on 5 February 2015

Verified Purchase

Geez, I'm jealous of how this guy can make a funny yet exciting story out of what is, to the adult mind, a bunch of incredibly unlikely hooey. But it's fun hooey. A character that's been seen throughout the series dies in the end, but that's okay. (Just trust me.) If you liked the first four books in the series, you, oh, what am I saying. If you liked those you already bought this one. If you haven't read the Genius Files series yet, you really oughta. 'Nuff said.

Amazing book

Reviewed in the United States on 17 September 2015

Verified Purchase

I originally read this book for a report. My little brother had already read it and said that I would really like it. At first, I didn't believe him. But then, right when I finished the book I thought wow, he was right. The plot was amazing and I hope the author will make more books like this

Is This Book Heaven

Reviewed in the United States on 29 June 2015

Verified Purchase

This Book was insanely good. The characters were very deep and detailed. Good for older or younger siblings, as they can relate to both Coke and Pepsi. I feel like this story could have been real as the details and pictures were very realistic. Great job finishing up the series Dan. Answered all your questions.

My son would give it 10 stars if he could

Reviewed in the United States on 29 July 2016

Verified Purchase

My son was 8 when he read this this book. He hated reading, but when my 10 year brought this series home from the book fair, he was so intrigued that he read all 5 in two days. Dan Gutman is now his favorite author, and he now understands and enjoys reading better.
