The Real Thing

By Brian Falkner

A rollicking adventure combining mystery ingredients, international conspiracies and a thrilling chase halfway around the world.

Only three people in the entire world know the secret formula for Coca-Cola. So, when all three are kidnapped, the giant American corporation is in deep trouble. But the kidnappers didn't count on the extraordinary abilities of a boy from Auckland, New Zealand, called Fizzer Boyd, who happens to have Extra-Sensory Perception. Soon Fizzer and his friend Tupai White are in the middle of an exciting adventure, which takes them to Coca-Cola's head office in Atlanta, then to Australia and even a mysterious island in the Pacific as the search for the missing recipe becomes a matter of life and death.
