THEODORE BOONE'S town is under threat, from a group of corrupt men planning to build a freeway bypass and destroy countless homes.

Now thirteen-year-old Theo - the schoolboy lawyer destined for the courtroom - must stand up for his city and stop them. But soon the fight turns nasty, and Theo and his friends face a giant battle against the underhand crooks.

And when Theodore uncovers a terrible secret - a secret he's discovered illegally - he is torn.
Should Theo stop the shady developers from breaking the law by breaking it himself?

Critic reviews

If you aspire to turn your children into lawyers who will keep you in your old age, John Grisham's Theodore Boone, his first novel for young people, might be for you.
Nobody does legal fiction better.
Not since Nancy Drew has a nosy, crime-obsessed kid been so hard to resist.
Gripping... I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery. I think everyone will be enthralled by Theodore Boone.
A master of his craft.

The Theodore Boone stories are enjoyable stories. I just continue to feel that they just don't end well. I need to know what the family thought of Theo's speech, did he get their approval?
