Book SummaryThirteen year old amateur lawyer Theodore Boone has unwittingly become wrapped up in his town's largest murder trial.
My Review
In Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer, John Grisham has written a mystery/suspense novel that is neither mysterious nor suspenseful. Grisham passes by many chances to introduce action to the novel, and there is no mystery. The law information that Grisham introduces to readers slows down the pace of the plot.
Devoted young mystery readers should seek out other authors and novels, including:
Richard Scrimger's "From Charlie's Point of View" and
Brian Doyle's "Angel Square"
Young mystery readers will also enjoy Graeme Base's illustrated books: "The Eleventh Hour" and "Enigma"
