The Great Brain Series

recommended by Peter Steinberg, avid reader

The "Great Brain" Series was always one of my favorites when I was home sick from school. They were set in a very different time and place (1890s Mormon Utah) so I suppose they were as much of an escape as one could imagine.

Start with the first and I'm confident you'll read them all.

Note that this book was published posthumously from notes left behind by the author. Having read it, it's a nice piece of nostalgia... but it's definitely not as good as the original 7 books.
