Summary: Great Book - Childhood Favorite
Comment: Driving into work today, I suddenly had a flashback to this wonderful series of books. I don't know what jogged my memory, but I cannot forget how much I loved reading the Great Brain series. The Great Brain at the Academy was by far my favorite. I am almost tempted to read them again -- for, what would probably be, the 6th time. Great books for your kids.

Summary: Don't Doubt the Great Brain
Comment: This book and Me and My Little Brain are parallel books, which describe events happening at the same time, however, you should read the other first to have things make sense. This book describes the Great Brain (T.D.)'s first semester away at the Academy in Salt Lake City. This book is interesting from the beginning with T.D.'s antics on the train ride to the end when T.D. introduces basketball into the Academy, the first Catholic school to have an organized sports program. The trouble that T.D. gets into is good for plenty of smiles and laughs. Amazingly enough this book is still told from the perspective of T.D.'s little brother, J.D., which allows continuity with the other books.

Summary: I had this series as a kid...
Comment: And book number four, The Great Brain At The Academy, is the best out of the whole series. Tom, a boy genius, who has a 'great brain' and a money-loving heart, is always conning people out of money, candy or whatever else they might have. His father sends him to a Catholic Academy for boys in Salt Lake City, figuring that the priests there will tame him. But Tom refuses to be tamed and does his best to get around the rules, outwit the superintendent AND make money in the bargin!
Watch Tom become the fastest potatoe peeler in the west, open an illegal candy store and introduce a new kind of game called basketball. I plan to get the rest and enjoy my childhood memories. The better parts, anyway.
