Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham

A current trend in books lately is adult fiction authors writing for children. John Grisham is the latest in this trend. Grisham’s newest series is titled, Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer. The book is set around Theo, a son of two lawyers, who has not passed the bar but knows more about the legal system than many graduating law students. While other junior high students are worried about the next assignment or upcoming dance, Theo is giving legal advice to kids who might be in jeopardy of losing their home or who have possibly witnessed a murder! I didn’t have the highest hopes for this legal thriller but Grisham was able to put in suspense and keep the reading turning pages to the end. There is a second book, The Abduction, and I think this will be a continuing series.
