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.


With their family vacation careening to a close, can Coke and Pepsi survive the final chase to the Golden Gate Bridge?


  • Alien Abduction: Before they can get home, Coke and Pepsi are taken on an unexpected side trip that's literally out of this world, complete with a mission to the moon.
  • Weird Tourist Traps: From the Alien Fresh Jerky stand to the world's largest pistachio, the laughs keep coming as the McDonalds visit America's strangest roadside attractions.
  • Secret Agent Thrills: The twins must escape a venomous snake, survive a deadly turbine, and yes, get thrown into a volcano, all while their clueless parents think it's just part of the tour.
  • Epic Showdown: The entire chase comes to a head in a final, explosive showdown on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. Will their parents finally believe them?
