The Great Brain at the Academy (Great Brain)
by John D. Fitzgerald
from Yearling
Everyone knew that Tom Fitzgerald, alias The  Great Brain, would get into trouble when he went off  to school at the strict Catholic Academy for Boys  in Salt Lake City. But no one--including Tom--knew  just how much. His tongue got him into fifteen  demerits worth of difficulty the very first day, but  his great brain refused to be defeated as Tom set  out to outwit the eighth grade, the  superintendent, and finally the bishop of the state of Utah.  Whether it's running an illegal candy store or  earning a reputation as the fastest potato peeler in the  world or introducing the newfangled sport of  basketball at the academy, Tom's great brain never  falters. And his money-making schemes rise to new  heights--or depths--faced with the challenge of  rigorous boarding-school life.
The Return of the Great Brain
by John D. Fitzgerald
from Yearling
Tom Fitzgerald, alias The Great Brain, is back, struggling to stay reformed now that his friends have threatened to ostracize him if he puulls even one more swindle. But his brother J.D. knows Tom's reformation is too good to be true, and as a reformed Great Brain makes for a dull life, J.D. is not altogether unhappy--or blameless--when his brother's money-loving heart stealthily retums to business as usual.
Under the watchful eyes of parents and friends, Tom has to be craftier than ever, and indeed he is. Whether he's cleverly pulling an out-and-out swindle so as not to be caught or solving a train robbery and murder, Tom's Great Brain never fails.
