5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Brave buffalo fighter (waditaka tatanka kisisohitika)

I second the comments of the previous reviewer. I read this book as a twelve year old, and have spent the last twenty years looking for another copy. Hard to find, but well worth the search.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, but very different from Great Brain Series, April 4, 2008

By	spacecitygirl "spacecitygirl" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

I just read Brave Buffalo Fighter, and thought it was a pretty good book. I didn't read it as a child, but decided to read it now, because I liked the Great Brain books so much, that I wanted to read more by John D. Fitzgerald. While the book kept my attention, I was surprised that the story was much more dramatic and had a harsher storyline than his other writings. This story lacked the humor of his other stories, but had the same historical fiction qualities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third Grade Memories Rushing Back...., May 16, 2004

By	Ruby G. (Falls Church, VA) - See all my reviews

Having grown up on the East side of Utah, the Great Brain was a treasured child hood companion. However, I had completely forgotten that John Fitzgerald wrote this book too. My third grade teacher, Mr. Cody Jenkins read this book to us and I remember being "transported" to the times of the book--a feat that only great books can accomplish.
