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.

Kid Lawyer

Would you try another book from John Grisham and/or Richard Thomas?

This was an okay story...not the John Grisham suspense or Thriller story line...don't think I would purchase another one in this series....

Would you recommend Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer to your friends? Why or why not?

Would not recommend to my friends as not a true John Grisham story. Kids might like this particular series...but not me.

Sweet and Light

After listening to murder and mayhem books, this was a very nice change of pace. Well written and well read, but without any real depth or nuance.

Entertaining and educational

Our family enjoyed this book very much! Not only was it entertaining but it was educational too. We appreciated the information provided about the judicial system, as it touched on subjects like courage, integrity, poverty, homelessness and undocumented immigrants. The story was interesting and moved along nicely. We didn’t want it to end. We highly recommend!
