The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable by Dan Gutman

Coke an Pepsi McDonald were your typical twelve year old twins…


that is, until the day someone tried to kill them on their way home from school.

Which is worse? Knowing someone is shooting at you or that you just pushed your sister off of a cliff? Yeah, well, Coke still isn’t sure either!

My Thoughts

I have a rough time buying books for CJ and Bug but when I read the first line – they were hooked!
Who wouldn’t be:
“There were ten items on Coke McDonald’s To Do list on June 17th, but JUMP OFF A CLIFF was not one of them.”
I’m not sure which of us laughed harder! We can hardly wait to add this one to our library!

Rating: A
Buy or Borrow: Borrow
Steam: Nada

Check it out!!


** Many of the books I review are Advance Review Copies. These books are loaned to me for my review. I am in no way compensated for my time nor am I asked to give anything but my honest review.

I love to read! But I don't always think the synopsis on the backs of books do them justice. I do, however, believe all books should come with an intended rating - or at least a steam FYI. So, I'm taking upon myself to educate all -- christian & secular readers, alike -- on the books behind the synopsis and the possible things you may not want your YA reader to see. Enjoy!

    It really was fun. Bug, who detests reading, is even reading it again! Yeah! It's usually a nightmare to get him near a book!!

    This was a cute one. I liked that there were two stops in my home state of Minnesota. And I liked that kids could use Google Maps to follow the trip.

    it was really fun! every so often it told you where to go on google maps to follow them & see what they were looking at. It was reading & geography all in one.
    so much fun!
