Summary

Originally published in 1971, the third of eight best-selling Great Brain titles is narrated by J. D., a nine-year-old boy living in Utah in 1897. His older brother Tom, aka The Great Brain, a silver-tongued con artist with a genius for making a profit, is away at boarding school -- so J. D resolves to follow in Tom's footsteps as the town's greatest swindler. Alas, J. J. D.'s attempts at profitable endeavor fail miserably. But when he comes up with a plan to rescue his adopted younger brother from an outlaw, J. D. learns that his "little brain" is good for something after all.
