The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable by Dan Gutman

First of all, I must say that Hatchet brought about an intriguing discussion in book club.  It was fun to hear all the different opinions and thoughts about Brian's survival story.  What a great book to ponder!  We all enjoyed Dan Gutman's visit SO much that we've decided to read his newest book, The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable, which we know will prove to be an exciting adventure with Coke and Pepsi McDonald.  Although most of us have seen the book trailer, click below to view it again.  Our discussion will take place on Monday, March 7th during lunch.  Copies of the book are in the media center so please come see us if you still need a copy.  Happy Reading!
