Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer

I saw Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham on the New York Times bestseller list at the library, and it sparked my interest.  This book is about 13-year-old Theo who loves visiting the courthouse and watching judges and lawyers in action.  He keeps his own office in a storage closet at his parents' law office, and he helps kids at his school with questions related to the law.  Theo is thrilled to be able to watch parts of a criminal trial in his town--a man accused of killing his wife.  It looks like the man is going to go free, but suddenly Theo is given some information that would prove the man's guilt.  It is up to Theo to decide what to do.

This book was awesome!  If all John Grisham's books are this good, I'm converted.  It was completely engaging, with exciting twists, totally believable characters, and a fabulous storyline. I also learned a ton about the judicial system while reading, which was fascinating.  So glad I found this book!
