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.

Clever Writing Technique!

By creating a story with a teenage main character, Grisham could ingeniously include perspective thinking or behavior of that age to enhance the story that normally could not be used in thoughts by adult characters. Such as Theo’s concerns to notifying parents when out to rescue friends or dangerous situations that adds suspense to the story. Adults act right away! Kids think to call parents. Great writing approach!

move over, Hardy Boys!

Our family enjoys Theodore Boone, boy lawyer. We hope that Mr.Grisham will continue to write more of these stories. We especially enjoy seeing the courtroom from Theo's perspective.

Quick Read

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Grisham style but more like a short story. Theodore Boone continues his love of the court system.

I started buying John Grisham's Theodore Boone series to get my nephew interested in reading, but ended up getting hooked on them too!

Good Production

A little slower of a story than the first book in the series, but definitely still worth the listen!

Enjoyable book about an unusual 13 year old boy/lawyer

Grisham usually provides a good, well written,story. This was another good example of his craft. I enjoyed it and had trouble putting it down.
