Book Reviews of More Adventures of the Great Brain (Great Brain, Book 2)
Book Review: Book is just as great as I last remembered!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to read these books as a kid, but as the years passed, I kinda lost touch with them as things go and forgot about them until just recently when I remembered the delight of this childhood memory and decided to renew that memory by ordering the books one at a time until I finally own all seven.
I finished reading this book yesterday and enjoyed every page of it. The book falls on the adventures of two brothers in a small Utah settlement in the late 1890's, one of which tends to swindle money and belongings out of every boy in that town for his own personal enjoyment with his "Great Brain" in a series of funny adventures. In this book, they believe that the swindling boy, Tom, had reformed his ways in order to get a bike for Christmas, but is back at it again simply to stop the bragging of one boy and his coonskin cap. But his ways also tend to help a lot of people in the town, like how Tom tutors the way of a rebellious girl named Dotty who wears boys clothes and is completely uneducated in all matters of sense, and also starting his own newspaper which solves the mystery of a bank robbery in that town with the theft of $10,000, which is quite a huge sum of money to a pair of boys who get an allowance of 10 cents a week. Tom also tends to make a fool out of some kid's uncle, who pretends to be a ghost from a once-thriving mining town down the road which is deemed off-limits to the kids in the area, and also helps his father out of a rut when they get lost while on a weekend camping trip, their wagon is smashed, and their horse is killed.
I have ordered more of the books as well, but this book happened to be the first one to arrive and I couldn't wait to read it again for the first time in 10 years. Completely awesome!
Summary of More Adventures of the Great Brain (Great Brain, Book 2)
Has Tom Jenkins, a.k.a. the Great Brain, given up his con-artist ways for a bicycle? Not for long. Soon the Great Brain is back to his old tricks, swindling and trading, even convincing the whole town there's a prehistoric monster on the loose. But when someone robs the bank, even the police are stumped. Can the Great Brain solve the crime and put the crooks behind bars?
