Product 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.

 Nice read for 10-15 year olds and adults who enjoy a gumshoe story without the grit of commercial fiction May 27, 2010

I bought this book for my 14-year-old as a summer reading book. I did read it first so I could know what he was talking about while giving me his daily chapter summery. I very much enjoyed it!
I wouldn't recommend it for a non-avid reader less than about 10 years old, though. It is very well written, but it is not childishly written, if you know what I mean. This is no Magic Treehouse book. I reads exactly like any other John Grisham novel, except is is clearly geared for middle school aged kids.
That being said, my 14-year old has already read the first 2 chapters and is getting sucked into it despite his every intention to hate any book that isn't a graphic novel.

I whipped through this book in about 24 hours after getting hooked by Amazon when I was able to read the 1st chapter for free. I ordered the book immediately and I am happy to say that the rest of the book was just as good as the 1st chapter. It was a definite page turner, although the ending left me a little quizzical and wanting more.
I am hopeful that Mr. Grisham will decided to write a whole series of books with Theodore Boone as his protagonist because I loved the character and thought that his use of technology was blended in at just the right pace.
Bravo, Mr. Grisham! Highly recommended.
Not just for kids. July 16, 2010

I am a big Grisham fan. When I learned of his new endeavor of writing a book for older children I wanted to read it. I was not disappointed. I fell in love with Theodore Boone and can't wait for the next installment. Now it wasn't the gripping legal thriller that he writes for adults but this is not an adult book. I think kids will get hooked and want to read more about Theo. I'm sure many adults will enjoy this also.
Great for ages 9 and up! July 18, 2010

I bought this book for my 12 yr old nephew. I am happy to say he really liked it. Very exciting and kept his interest. It was nice to hear he enjoyed reading a book for a change! He recommends it especially for a good summer read.Smitty's Cave Adventures

I purchased Theodore Boone for my 10 year old grandson. I enjoy John Grisham's books a lot. There is always suspense and drama with a twist at the end.
Theodore Boone is a young persons suspense and drama written in a way they can understand. My grandson read the book in four days. He now wants to visit a court room. This book could be the making of a new young lawyer!
