Publisher Description

A perfect murder

A faceless witness

A lone courtroom champion knows the whole truth . . . and he’s only thirteen years old

Meet Theodore Boone

In the small city of Strattenburg, there are many lawyers, and though he’s only thirteen years old, Theo Boone thinks he’s one of them. Theo knows every judge, policeman, court clerk—and a lot about the law. He dreams of being a great trial lawyer, of a life in the courtroom.

But Theo finds himself in court much sooner than expected. Because he knows so much—maybe too much—he is suddenly dragged into the middle of a sensational murder trial. A cold-blooded killer is about to go free, and only Theo knows the truth.

The stakes are high, but Theo won’t stop until justice is served.

Brimming with the intrigue and suspense that made John Grisham a #1 international bestseller and the undisputed master of the legal thriller, Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer will keep readers guessing and pages turning.

    " Max and I are reading this book while we are driving to his many commitments (lacrosse, swimming, drum lessons, sleepovers...). It is pretty neat way to get a kid interested in the law and our legal system. John Ghrisham does a fine job explaining it all in kid language (that works for me, too). With a 13 year old boy as the book's namesake and the murder trial he gets immersed into, the story clips along and has no trouble holding Max's interest "It's exciting though it is not as much fun as FPS games on the Xbox", he says.

    " I guess I realized this would be young adult fiction before I started reading but this is really young adult fiction. Really, really young. Quick read, easy characters, not quite believable but then, does it have to be? Pleasant but no cigar. "

    " Read this aloud to the family. We really enjoyed it. It is an interesting and engaging story, and it does a great job of introducing key facets of the judicial system. I would recommend it to anyone who wants either (1) wants to trick their kids into learning a little more about the judicial system by hiding it in a good story or (2) who would like to learn more about the legal system themselves in such a story!

    " One of the first books in a LOOOONG time that I actually enjoyed when it wasn't a fantasy. The only reason I even tried it is because my grandma suggested it, so we did a book switch-off where I then gave her a Harry Potter book to try because she doesn't read fantasy. In this book, I was interested in the law and court system involved, and most importantly, the author's style of writing. It was flowing, fun-to-read, and even humorous at times. "

    " The book, at 260+ pages seemed to drag. It gave great background on legal terms and practices, but there was very little to keep me engrossed, other than the accomplishment of finishing the novel. "

    " This was a fun read. Book one of a series for young adults, but an excellent legal primer no matter what your age. It was nice to get away from the author's more complex stories. It was a very enjoyable book and actor Richard Thomas did a very nice job narrating the audio book. "
