John Grisham's first young adult novel Theodore Boone : Kid Lawyer, hits stores this 25th of May. As a loyal Grisham fan, I was pretty surprised when I found out about this novel. John Grisham isn't someone I would expect to come out with a young adult novel, but I never expected Mark Billingham to write Triskellion, so I might be wrong. Authors are supposed to surprise readers with their works right? And Grisham damn well did, with this.
A perfect murder
A faceless witness
A lone courtroom champion knows the whole truth . . . and he's only thirteen years old
Meet Theodore Boone
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.
