The Great Brain books remind me of my childhood. This trip down memory lane was great, and not just for nostalgia. I realized as I read the book that the writing is very impressive. It is clear, simple, interesting, and sounds like it's coming from a ten year old, which is of course what it is supposed to sound like. There are some great stories, and the pacing is good too. Another thing that makes this series good is the theme of people from many different religions all living together, interracting, and cooperating well (for the most part). It's a contemporary message, and it's unfortunate that kids these days don't know about this series. Hopefully there will be a rediscovery. I hope my kids will read them, and maybe even try to swindle me a time or two.
