Writer: John Grisham
Genre: Fiction
John Grisham attempts to enter the youth market by creating a kid lawyer who knows more about law than adult lawyers do. Theodore Boon as the only son of two attorneys tries his hands at law even at the young age of 13. He helps his friend April when her parents’ divorce, rescues a cute colleague's dog from the pound and advises a kid when his brother is caught with drugs. All of this is fine until he gets caught in the biggest murder trial where the convict is about the walk free for lack of proof. But Theodore not only has proof, he has a witness too! The witness, an illegal immigrant refuses to go to the cops and does not even trust Theodore completely.
How does this 13 year old manage such a big issue?
Interesting read if read from the teenage point of view. You need not know law to understand for Grisham explains most of the adventures that the book takes you through. Not sure of the public reception through! My rating would be an average.
