A very fun(-ny) and quick read!The Great Brain books are a fun series set in the late 1800s about a boy who uses his brain to trick and swindle other kids as well as solve mysteries the adults can't. Great nostalgia.
The series is very formulaic by this point, and is past its best, but still very fun and enjoyable.
These books were so fun to read!
All of the Great Brain books are charming, delightful stories to read to your kids. Very cleverly thought out and written. Fun reads.
Tom Fitzgerald makes it rich in the next installment of the Great Brain series. Though he's a self-proclaimed reformed conniver, he still manages to find a way to make money off his friends using semi-honest methods. But he puts his Great Brain to good use when it comes time to save the life of a friend, and he earns a dollar doing it.
Six books in, the Great Brain series is starting to wear a little thin. Even Fitzgerald seems to be struggling, as The Return of the Great Brain is a little lackluster and repetitive. We have the same Tom shenanigans, the same J.D. who constantly is getting guilt-tripped by Tom and is easily tricked by him, and even some of the same sort of non-swindling events that have happened in previous books.I will say, it was nice to see that for the most part, Tom actually does things that arent
