The Great Brain

 By John Dennis Fitzgerald
Tom Dennis Fitzgerald has a great brain. He think of ways to cheat people for money. When his family makes ice cream, he tells two kids that there will be some in a spoon full for a penny. When a kid looses his leg, he helps him get back on his game for a playset. When the new greek kid gets bullied, Tom trains him up cause the kids father promised him a silver dollar.

For me this book was much like Tom Sawyer(I love Tom Sawyer), just an easier read. The book is written in a first person narrative from the author, when he was a little boy. The book is based on John Dennis Fitzgerald's experience as a young boy, and what his older brother Tom did to earn money.
As I mentioned before this book is much like Tom Sawyer but one thing that I enjoyed in this that never happened in Tom Sawyer is that Tom Dennis changed and completely gave up his bad ways.
 I would recommend this book to any one who wants a light-heart-ed-read.
