Publisher's summary

Thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone thought the danger had passed, but he’s about to face off against an old adversary: Accused mur­derer and fugitive Pete Duffy.

On a field trip to Washington, DC, Theo spots a familiar face on the Metro: Duffy, who jumped bail and was never seen again. Theo’s quick thinking helps bring Duffy back to Strattenburg to stand trial. But now that Duffy knows who he is, Theo is in greater danger than he’s ever been in before. Even when every­thing is on the line, Theodore Boone will stop at nothing to make sure a killer is brought to justice.

This smart, fast-paced legal thriller for young listeners is the newest adventure for clever and determined kid lawyer Theo Boone.

Another stellar book

Grisham has done it again with a great story geared for youth and yet interesting enough to capture the attention of his adult readers.

Discussing real life situations and legal matters in a way young people would understand, the story is also highly captivating and entertaining.

Recommended for the legal beagle in every family, perfect for vacation or travel reading!

Great Story

Great story, but the narrator should have slowed down. Much of it sounded like a continuous run-on sentence.

Well Done!!

Theo is a great character, and after 5 episodes, I can't imagine anyone else narrating this series. It's an awesome way to introduce a young audience to courtroom drama.

Good presentation

Pretty good book. Reader did a great job. Worth listening to. I would highly recommend the previous Theodore Boone book prior to listening to this one, though I like this story better.
