About this title: The fourth entry in the "Great Brain" series of books. The town of Aldenville, Utah heaved a sigh of relief when Tom Fitzgerald (alias The Great Brain) left to attend the Catholic Academy for Boys in Salt Lake City. Now Tom's talents at conniving would be put to use elsewhere. Tom isn't in his strict new school for a day before he's in trouble and eventually he outwits the eighth grade, the superintendent, and finally, the bishop of the state of Utah.

"This particular entry in the series had special meaning. As a fellow graduate of more years of Catholic school than I can count, Tom's adventures in a Jesuit-run school for boys really make me smile. Very funny!"
"Tom Fitzgerald, a/k/a "The Great Brain," heads off to an all boys' boarding school and gives the Jesuits a run for their money. When the Jebbies try to squash Tom's spirit, he appeals to the Pope himself. This is one in a series of "Great Brain" books, a hilarious series that portrays life in the American west at the turn of the 20th century, and adults will enjoy it as much as kids ages 10-13."
"Paul and I flew through this book...faster than books 2 or 3. Tom is just so hilarious. We like to imagine what it would be like to meet him. Would he try to swindle us, too? Probably."
