My favorite of the series because it seems the most Grisham-y of the series. We had eminent domain in Book 4 and testing in Book 6, which were like Grisham in the sense that he highlighted a policy with which the public should concern themselves. This time it is juvenile detention and/or the rule of law concerning those with little money.
The parents seem out of character at times--more unsympathetic for Woody than I would have thought.
Anyway, if you want a YA Grisham written by Grisham, this is it.

Book 7 in the Theo Boone series - a very young adult series about a kid who wants to be a lawyer (both his parents are lawyers) and acts as the de facto lawyer for his friends who always seem to need his help in some way.
I won't rehash the plot (just read the back of the book) or give away spoilers but if you have liked the earlier books in the series this one is about the same, you'll like it.
They are short, quick reads that I have always enjoyed on audio as I run or walk in the park.
Good characters and engaging plot. As I mentioned these are very very young adult (if not older middle grade books).
Just like the other six....I enjoyed this one as well.

Really noticed the author’s lack of a realistic voice for Theo, he seemed to be overcompensating which is probably why I really noticed it in this book. Liked the concept, lacked the execution.
