Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer
Why Boys Will Read It:
Like a Nancy Drew for boys, Theo is a nosey crime-obsessed kid (The New York Times) and Grisham's trade-marked fast paced style and talent for writing engrossing thrillers will keep kids turning the page.
What It's About:
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 finds himself in court much sooner than expected.
How to Teach It:
