I love the series and wish Grisham would write a sequel to The Partner, it begs for a sequel .

Kid's Book good for adults!

Our kids loved this audio book. We listened to it basically straight through on the road to vacation one day, and they were looking for the next in the series. Animal court is such a funny sidebar to the Theo Boone books. There are a few themes in the book that may be a little too mature for 9-10 year olds, but 12-16 year olds that we have love these well-written and intricately woven stories.
