As the only child of two attorneys, 13-year-old Theodore Boone knows more about the law than most adults.  Theodore dreams of going into the law himself, working as a trial lawyer and eventually becoming a judge. He already knows all the attorneys and judges in his small city of Strattenburg, and has even named his dog Judge. Theodore is so passionate about the law that he works as an amateur attorney, giving basic legal advice to friends. But Theodore’s hobby turns potentially deadly when he becomes involved with a key witness in a major murder trial. In “Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer” best-selling author John Grisham details how Theodore sorts out a legal tangle that involves an illegal immigrant, a cold-blooded killer and a creepy private investigator who seems to be stalking Theodore. Author John Grisham is best known for his over 21 adult books.  “Theodore Boone” is John Grisham’s first children’s novel.  To see how kids liked his book, Grisham worked with the fifth-graders in his daughter Shea Grisham’s class at the A.B. Combs Leadership Elementary School in Raleigh. Early in the process of writing “Theodore Boone,” Grisham read the first two chapters to the class and asked for feedback.
