More Adventures Of The Great Brain by John Fitzgerald

In a turn-of-the-century small Utah town, a clever and audacious older brother dazzles friends and confounds adults with elaborate schemes and quick-witted cons, while his younger sibling narrates the episodes with a mix of admiration, exasperation and humor; the stories blend slapstick mischief, moral reckonings and vivid local color to portray childhood, family loyalty and the scramble to make a little cash in a close-knit frontier community.
