Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer
by John Grisham
I began reading Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer for a book club that we have at the library with fifth graders. They are about 75% done with it and are LOVING the book, but I had to finish early because I needed to know what happened! Overall, I felt like the story was building up to something big, and then... nothing. It just ENDED. I wish that there had been an epilogue to explain what happened with the case, because there was a lot of unanswered questions at the end. I wondered if those answers would follow in the next book, even if it was about a different case. I might have to read more in the series to find out! Another problem that I had with the book was that so many people had legal troubles, and so many people went to Theo for help with them. The same thing happened to Nancy Drew and other teen detectives, but I think that they were a bit older than 13. The fifth graders, however, thought that was completely realistic because it is easier for them to talk to other kids than adults. In spite of my problems with the book, I did enjoy reading it far more than I thought I would. I am especially glad that the fifth graders enjoyed it!
