    About Me and My Little Brain

    This third book in the series is a great combination of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Terrible Two series, and is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl.

    Tom a.k.a. the Great Brain, is off to boarding school.  Now his little brother, J.D., is free to follow in Tom’s ingenious, conniving, and profitable footsteps.  All of J.D.’s attempts at turning a profit fail miserably, and he soon realizes that he just doesn’t have that crafty Great Brain knack.  But when his younger brother is kidnapped, J.D. finds that his little brain may not be so ordinary after all . . .

    About Me and My Little Brain

    When that shrewd conniver, Tom, the infamous Great Brain, is sent to school in Salt Lake City, his favorite victim, J.D., figures he can step into his brother’s shoes as town hustler. Nothing’s wrong with his technique–it’s just that he hasn’t got the instincts of a real con man. But when outlaws kidnap J.D.’s four-year-old adopted brother, Frankie, J.D.’s talents find their proper inspiration. And if everybody thinks it looks like curtains for Frankie it’s because they haven’t counted on what a "little brain" combined with a big heart can do.
