The most exciting road trip in history continues! In this third book in the thrilling, New York Times bestselling adventure series, twelve-year-old twins Coke and Pepsi McDonald dodge nefarious villains all the way to Graceland.

The genius twins Coke and Pepsi have narrowly escaped a vat of a Spam, a pit of boiling fry oil, and a score of crazed adults all bent on killing them. But just when they thought they were safe, their arch nemesis Dr. Herman Warsaw reappeared, engaged to their Aunt Judy! Whoa--didn't he die already?! Now, as the twins continue their family road trip from Washington D.C. through the South, it will take every bit of their genius abilities to outwit their wacky enemies. It doesn't help that their parents remain totally oblivious! When they finally get to Graceland, Elvis's home in Memphis, Tennessee, Coke and Pepsi come to an explosive conclusion you'll have to read to believe!

With Dan Gutman's laugh-out-loud humor and featuring photos and weird-but-true American tourist destinations like the National Jousting Hall of Fame, The Genius Files is a one-of-a-kind mix of geography and fun.

From the Back Cover

Coke and Pepsi McDonald didn't plan to be fugitives.

They didn't plan to be trapped in a pool of flesh-eating soda pop. And they certainly didn't plan to be pulverized in a giant shredder or crushed in a turbo-charged carnival ride. But what choice do you have when an evil Elvis impersonator is chasing you across America? This cross-country road trip is about to take an explosive turn!

Want to join in the fun? Fire up the old Google Maps and follow the McDonald twins as they get chased from the World's Largest Frying Pan all the way to Graceland, Elvis Presley's home in Memphis, Tennessee. Lucky for the twins: You Only die twice! . . .
