Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer is the first children novel written by John Grisham. John Grisham is best known for his legal thrillers for adults, but this one is aimed for 8 to 12 year olds. He talks about this book in this video:
Theo is a 13 year old boy whose parents are both lawyers and dreams about being a lawyer or even a judge. He already knows so much about the legal system, courts, and trials. The story finds Theo in the middle of a murder trial, knowing a bit more than he should. The murderer is about to go free and Theo needs to decide what to do with what he knows.
This legal thriller was a well written, fast paced, and interesting. I will be recommending it to my two older children (11 and 13). I wouldn't be surprised if Theodore Boone became a series.
