Are you thinking that you might like to be a lawyer? Read on! This book "Theodore Boone:Kid Lawyer" is by John Grisham who has written numerous adult books about the law and lawyers. They are all page turners and have numerous twists and turns that keep you hooked. This is his first foray into books for the younger readers and is about a 13 year old kid, the son of two lawyers, who also wants to be a lawyer. In fact he already knows so much about the law he even helps out fellow students who have problems. However he becomes involved with a murder trial and must decide how to deal with information he has received that will make a difference in the outcome of the verdict. A guilty man could go free if he doesn't speak up.
While I enjoyed the book, at times it felt like Grisham was writing a book for a certain age instead of just writing a fabulous book. The writing is filled with facts that allow the young person to understand what is happening but it sometimes feels stilted, not natural.
