Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer

Half the man, twice the lawyer…

In the small city of Strattenburg, there are many lawyers – and though he’s only thirteen years old, Theo Boone means to be one of them. He knows every judge, policeman and court clerk. But does he know too much? Theo dreams of being a great trial lawyer, living his life in the courtroom. But Theo finds himself in court much sooner than he expected. Suddenly he is 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…

Celebrated writer John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller, brings his magic touch to a teenage audience in this remarkable novel.
