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.

Summary: My Review on The Great Brain Academy
Comment: The Great Brain at the Academy is a book told from John Fitzgerald the author of the book about his brother Tom, the great brain, and his time at the Catholic Academy. Tom is a smart boy so he countines his education in the 7th grade a year earlier than the other boys his age. At the Academy Tom has to deal with the horible Father Rodriguez the superetient at the school. Tom learns from him that the school is almost no fun and he must use his great brain to give the other boys some reason of coming to the school besides by the force other their parents. Tom runs a candy store, finds a card shark, and swindles many kids as he does in all the books of the Gret Brain Series. This is a very good book loaded with pranks and Great Brain fun.

Summary: The Great Brain meets the Priests
Comment: The Great Brain is going to a Catholic Acadmey school in Salt Lake City, and he is ready to make it a financial trip. On the first day Tom, alias The Great Brain, is already on the wrong side of Father Rodriguez, the superintendent of the Academy.
Candy is only allowed once every four weeks, but the Great Brain opens his own candy store anyway! Tom is making bets all the time and is always winning. This is a great book with many new Great Brain adventures!!
