Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham
4.0

The son of two lawyers, thirteen year old Theo Boone hopes to someday be a famous trial lawyer or great judge. He spends much of his free time at the courthouse, and his classmates come to him for legal advise when they or their families have trouble. Theo never imagines his mini law practice will put him in the middle of the biggest murder trial his town has seen in his lifetime.

I've known about this book for a while, but never felt much interest toward it. However, I'm working on a mystery series parents guide so I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be quite good. Theo has a slight crush on a grown-up lady, but she barely notices him. The plot does center around a murder trial, so I wouldn't recommend it for very young kids, but children ten and up should be good. The ending to this book doesn't resolve the story. I'm hoping the next book will do that. Speaking of the next book, I've already got it on reserve from the library.
