This is book number eight in the Great Brain series, published by the author's family posthumously. I used to love these books so much when I was young! They were like "young Tom Sawyer" stories. But now, I just dislike Tom's "swindles" and arrogance about his "great brain" and I cringe at John's susceptibility. The dog fighting story and resolution were totally unrealistic. The smoking to ward off females story was cute. When I ordered these for school, I wanted the entire set but got 1,2,3, and 8. They never got checked out . . .
