Charlie and the Amazing Brain

On the first day of school, 10-year-old Charlie Applegate becomes friends with the new kid — Brian the Brain — an awkward boy with a photographic memory and a soaring I.Q.
Lunar landings and the start of the space race give the boys plenty to think about, but soon there is a much more pressing problem — someone is starting fires at their school and Charlie and Brian become prime suspects.
The stakes are raised when their friend, Mr. Jenkins, is arrested and put in jail, prompting the boys to find the real arsonist. They become amateur detectives and begin looking for clues.
Will Charlie’s cryptic dreams and Brian’s amazing brain be enough to thwart the madman who is trying to destroy the school? Will their friendship survive the stress of keeping too many secrets? Find out by reading Charlie and the Amazing Brain.
