Since 1960, both boys and girls have enjoyed reading about Alvin Fernald and his Magnificent Brain. Whenever it clicks into action and a glassy stare comes into his eyes, it's time to watch out! Because Alvin is thinking up another marvelous invention. Maybe it's the Foolproof Burglar Alarm for his bedroom door, or a Sure Shot Paper Slinger for delivering newspapers from his bike. Or a Portable Fire Escape, very handy when it comes time to crawl out the window for a secret meeting with his best pal, Shoie. No doubt about it, as his sister the Pest says, "Alvin is a genius!" The hint of a mystery surrounding the old Huntley place is all Alvin needs to launch a new series of inventions which bring extraordinary results. His remarkable inventing bench becomes the scene of frenzied activity. With Shoie and the Pest, who always tags along, there is never a dull moment as Alvin unfolds the most brilliant plan of his career.

Small town America as it used to be--or at least the way we'd like to remember it as in Mayberry and other similar towns from the mid-twentieth century. Author Charles B. Hicks gives us childhood adventures in the genre of Brains Benton, the Mad Scientists Club, Ted Wilford, and the Three Investigators, or (from the 1930s) Jerry Todd and Popp... y Ott. Alvin Fernald with his best friend and little sister solve mysteries that include middle-of-the-night escapades, a rambling old house, and back alleys. Alvin's ingenious inventions ratchet up the entertainment. After reading this book I immediately bought the other nine books in the series. A keepsake!
