Publisher's summary

A perfect murder...a faceless witness...a lone courtroom champion knows the whole truth....and he’s only 13 years old.

Meet Theodore Boone. In the small city of Strattenburg, there are many lawyers, and though he’s only 13, Theo Boone thinks he’s one of them. Theo knows every judge, policeman, court clerk - and a lot about the law. He dreams of being a great trial lawyer, of a life in the courtroom.

But Theo finds himself in court much sooner than expected. Because he knows so much - maybe too much - he is suddenly dragged into the middle of a sensational murder trial. A cold-blooded killer is about to go free, and only Theo knows the truth.The stakes are high, but Theo won’t stop until justice is served.

Brimming with the intrigue and suspense that made John Grisham a number-one international best-seller and the undisputed master of the legal thriller, Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer will keep listeners guessing.

Good but...

The story was a good kids story, my problem is with the narration. The narrator likes to destroy a heavy dialog scene with actually saying the words, "said John", "said Jane", over and over. I was kind of annoying. Luckily it only happened like twice in the book. My other issue is the random music drawing out the narration. That was seriously annoying. Over all the book and narration were good.

Bought by mistake...but enjoyable!

I didn’t realize this was a children’s book...and was anticipating a great read because Richard Thomas was narrating. The storyline and narration both exceeded expectations!

However, the 3-star rating was given because I am upset that this book is marketed to 8-12 year olds. Murder, illegal immigration, and witness intimidation are not, in my opinion, appropriate subject matter for that age group.

Good Enjoyable Book

The book may be for a younger audience, but it is written well for adults. It helps having a more mature teenager as the lead and I enjoyed the legalese explanations as well.

The Best!!!

Theodore Boone series are my favorite ........ I think it's more of a mysterious/detective series (my favorite) but I guess it all depends on you. But I recommend get at least 1or2 audible of Theodore Boone ;)

FOR “KIDS” OF ALL AGES

I am not a “kid” anymore but wanted something light. This was so much fun! The narrator was excellent. I recommend this to children and adults too.

A really fun listen!

Richard Thomas did a fantastic job reading this book. It's a bit simplistic...but still very enjoyable summer reading!

Great Series ... Lots of Fun

This is a different Grisham. Still good courtroom action, but from the kid perspective. I have every Theo book, and enjoy them over and over again.
