Bookroo's summary
Thirteen-year-old Tom D. Fitzgerald, known as The Great Brain, is back with his final escapades. Despite being smitten by Polly Reagan, Tom's knack for swindling his brother J.D. and the kids of Adenville remains unchanged. With his sharp wit and money-making schemes, Tom stirs up trouble and excitement. Will his clever tricks finally catch up with him, or will he outsmart everyone once more? Dive into a world where mischief and adventure go hand in hand, and discover if The Great Brain's antics will lead to his greatest triumph or downfall.
From the publisher
This classic trickster is back again, and he’s up to no good in his eighth and final book of the series. Great mix of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Terrible Two series, and is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl.
Tom D. Fitzgerald–better known as The Great Brain–has turned thirteen, and pretty Polly Reagan has put a spell on him. But when it comes to swindling his younger brother J. D., and all the other kids in Adenville, Tom hasn’t changed a bit. The Great Brain is back one more time, and he’s at the top of his form with his money-making schemes and getting into big trouble. As always, life is more exciting when this brain’s around!
