The Genius Files: From Texas With Love By: Dan Gutman

    The fourth book in the Genius Files series, From Texas With Love is a really good read to pass the time. Dan Gutman pieces together this book with clear understanding of how kids figure things out and think. Also, he knows how to piece a little excitement to a realist fiction book. There’s just the right amount of drama, adventure and humor to make this book a memorable book.   


   The two main characters are twins named Pepsi and Coke. They are on a road trip sightseeing for their mom’s website. The evil villain, Dr. Warsaw, has more sinister plans and schemes coming their way while the twins old teacher chases after them to with the bowler hat guys. Coke has a photographic memory and Pepsi can solve puzzles and anagrams. Together they solve riddles from Dr, Warsaws clone.  Dr. Warsaw is a little messed up and is planning the twins lives coming to an end.

The book is a little random with a rushed sort of plot. The events turn from one to another quickly. I would recommend highly reading the first few books first. The whole plot is geared towards younger kids even though the characters are older. There is no moral and in some parts the plot goes a little awary. If you’re looking for a way to pass the time, this is your book. I recommend it for younger age people or people who have read the first few books and are looking to finish a series.
