The Great Brain is Tom D. Fitzgerald, aged ten. The story is told by J.D., a sometimes confounded but always admiring younger brother. Such people as Mr. Standish, the mean schoolmaster, regret the day they came up against The Great Brain. But others, like the Jensen kids lost in Skeleton Cave, Basil, the Greek kid, or Andy, who has lost his leg and his friends, know that Tom's great brain never fails to find a way home.

      Who else could come up with a plan to save two friends lost in a cave? To help assimilate a new Greek boy into turn-of-the-century Utah culture? To help a friend overcome his disability? Why, the Great Brain, of course. The adventures of T.D. (Tom), as told by his admiring younger brother J.D., are as fresh and entertaining today as they were 35 years ago. And Ron McLarty's narration adds that subtle touch of Mid-Western ambiance. The strength of his narration comes from his storyteller's ability to build each adventure with suspense, warmth, humor, youthful indignation, and the matter-of-fact tone that Tom maintains through each crisis. With strong and confident male roles, this is a great selection for higher elementary grades, and especially for boys. W.L.S. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
