John Grisham's first book for middle-grade readers—and book one in a planned series—will no doubt have wide appeal. Readers loving an action planned plot will love this book.
The only child of two busy lawyers, Theo’s passion in life is the law. He hangs out at the courthouse in his small city, and he knows every lawyer, judge, court clerk and cop in town. In a closet-sized office, he gives legal advice to classmates when their parents are filing for divorce or their pets are charged with violating the leash law.
When a big murder case goes to trial, Theo organizes a field trip for his government class to observe the first day’s proceedings.
When he finds out about a mysterious eyewitness to the murder, he is at his wits end. No one else is aware of the witness’ existence, and it’s up to Theo to convince him to come forward and tell the judge what he knows. Otherwise, a guilty murderer will walk free. How can he make sure that justice is served, without putting himself and his family in grave danger?
I enjoyed the book a lot. Theo Bone rocks here. Once you are in the middle of the book, its hard to leave it behind. If you love suspense thrillers with kids as the main characters, then this is the right book for you.
