About the Book The Great Brain
This classic children’s novel set in the small town of Adenville, Utah, during the late 19th century. This humorous and heartwarming story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Tom D. Fitzgerald, often referred to as "The Great Brain," and his siblings.
The novel is narrated by Tom’s younger brother, John, who provides readers with an intimate look at Tom's cunning mind and numerous escapades. Tom is known for his remarkable intelligence and knack for turning every situation to his advantage, often at the expense of others.
Tom’s entrepreneurial spirit is evident as he devises various schemes to make money and solve problems. From outsmarting the neighborhood kids to dealing with bullies and helping his community, Tom's brilliant yet sometimes morally ambiguous actions make for an engaging read.
One of the most memorable events in the book includes Tom’s plan to fix the town’s water system, which had been plagued by a persistent drought. His ingenuity not only saves the town but also earns him respect and admiration from the townspeople.
Another significant moment is when Tom helps a handicapped boy gain acceptance among his peers by teaching him how to walk again. This act of kindness showcases Tom’s caring side and highlights the complexity of his character.
