Half the man, twice the lawyer.

In the small city of Strattenburg, a place filled with lawyers, Theo Boone stands out - and he's only thirteen years old. Despite his young age, Theo has an extraordinary grasp of the law, as he mingles with judges, policemen, and court clerks, often knowing more than some practising attorneys. His dream is to become a great trial lawyer, envisioning a future filled with courtroom battles and the pursuit of justice.

However, Theo's thirst for justice draws him into the legal world sooner than he anticipated. He unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a high-profile murder trial. With a cold-blooded killer on the verge of walking free, Theo realizes he holds crucial evidence that could turn the case around. But the path to justice is fraught with danger and unexpected challenges. Will Theo be able to bring the truth to light, or will the killer slip through the legal system's cracks?

Theodore Boone is a thrilling legal drama from the master storyteller John Grisham, meticulously crafted for young readers but captivating for adults alike. Full of suspense, this riveting tale of a young legal prodigy navigating dangerous waters underscores the importance of bravery, ethics, and the relentless quest for justice.

About the Author

John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specialising in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. One day, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987.

His next novel, The Firm, spent 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Since then, he has written one novel a year, including The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker and The Runaway Jury.

Today, Grisham has written a collection of stories, a work of non-fiction, three sports novels, seven kids' books, and many legal thrillers. His work has been translated into 42 languages. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia.
