Publisher's summary

Theodore Boone is back in a new adventure, and the stakes are higher than ever....

When his best friend, April, disappears from her bedroom in the middle of the night, no one, not even Theo Boone - who knows April better than anyone - has answers. As fear ripples through his small hometown and the police hit dead ends, it's up to Theo to use his legal knowledge and investigative skills to chase down the truth and save April.

Filled with the kind of pause-resistant suspense that has made John Grisham a number-one international best seller and the undisputed master of the legal thriller, Theodore Boone's trials and triumphs will keep listeners guessing until the very end.

Crack another case with Theodore Boone.

Short-suggest 1/2 vs 1 Full Credit Needed on Audible

While the story was very good and well told, I’m used to books 11-15+ hrs in length so a 4-hr story was very short. Would be good if only 1/2 credit needed via Audible if “short” and a full credit needed of “long”.

Funny and Heartwarming Story

Great book! Starts out with intrigue and sadness and continues with light hearted insight of a very intelligent teenage boy. Story touches on incidents of humor and also the depth a young person will go to achieve a strong goal. The ending is practical and uplifting.
I would recommend this book for ages 10 and up. Excellent read and much needed at this time in our society.

Loved

As usual John Grisham knows how to tell a story. When I was younger, I read Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer and never read the rest of the series. So glad, I picked it up again, just for Nostalgia. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I like it!

After listening to two of them and being very entertained I see these books are supposed to be for kids! Ok, but I'm into it now so I'm going for three.
