They then kill the owner of the group who is trying to kill them and then run back to their mothers.Theme and connectionsIn the story I don’t think there is a theme but it might be don’t get into things you don’t know. Because some people try to kill them and don’t know why and in the end knowing that the people who are killing them are actually killing them because they are in a certain group. How I am connected to the story, Im not really like who Coke and Pepsi are because they have different personalities however the only similar thing is that Coke is a boy and I am too.Opinion: in the end of the book I thought it was predictable because in every movie and story well most of them the good one always wins so I knew that Coke and Pepsi were going to make it out alive even in the most desperate points. However I read this book in class and first I didn’t like it but I kept on reading and then found it too interesting to stop so that’s what I have to say about the book its really catchy.My opinion of the book is that I liked it because there was lots of description and really catchy and also is really interesting because lots of things is happening all the time . For example, when they get ciphers which they have to figure out or when they have to get themselves out of trouble or the time they drive a car. The book was predictable because the good people always win mostly and also that they always get out alive. The ending of the book was when they find out who has been sending the ciphers and then fight him ending his life while he falls down a hole it was surprising to find out that the guy who was trying to kill them was the owner of the secret group. My favorite part was when Coke and Pepsi had to fight off an enemy in a dessert all by them self and get trapped in a hole but manage to survive read on to find out. A connection I made with the book was that I have had so close death experiences but not people trying to kill me.Recommendation I would recommend this book to others keeping the reader thrilled with close death experiences and fighting of enemies who are way older than them jumping of cliffs and skydiving to going over 80Mph in a salt lake with an RV to getting trapped in a 3 meter deep hole in the middle of a sand dune read this book and read there other 2 series. I would recommend this book to students as there is easy language not to hard book to read just long and interesting this book is for intermediate readers who can read books which have a good amount of length A rating for this book would be 10/10 because this book is so interesting wanting you to keep on reading nonstop wanting to know what happens next. Coke and Pepsi Mcdonald were two normal kids except for the fact that they are genius. They were going on a road trip with their parents. They wanted to have a normal summer but they figured out that they were in a program that are for geniuses but it got corrupted and now have to die. But because they are geniuses they are able to survive through the messy situations. So through whole trip they have a chip in there head to be found. Then other geniuses join to kill them and win the prize. The Genius Files is about to kids going on a crazy trip, also near to impossible ways to get out of their situations, and amazing twists in the story.
