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.

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.

A delightful change from books that are full of

violence and profanity. I plan on reading the entire series of Theo Bound. Very good book.

Good Grisham for Kids!

John Grisham, with his Theo Boone series, has proven again that he's a master of the legal genre, and that he can even make it fun for younger readers.
Richard Thomas does a good job of reading, without trying to fake a bunch of character voices.

Theodore Boone

These are great teen and pre-teen books about law and the justice system. They hold the attention of the young people and while a tale is spun, they may actually learn some things about our judicial system. Great to read or listen, clean and appropriate for the young audience.

Excellent

Would you listen to Theodore Boone: The Abduction again? Why?

Yes I would listen to this book again because I love John Grishams writing style.

What other book might you compare Theodore Boone: The Abduction to and why?

There could be no comparison with another write because John Grisham has got such a wonderful writing skill, no one could compare to his books.

What does Richard Thomas bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Richard Thomas brought strength to the book in the way he spoke, he has a wonderful voice and that helped in being interested at all times.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

With my schedule it is hard to listen to books in one sitting but I found myself at home listening at great lengths.

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to John Grishams next book and hoping that Richard Thomas will be the one to read.
