THEODORE BOONE'S best friend April has disappeared in the middle of the night.

The only suspect is an escaped convict, and he won't give them any answers.

Thirteen-year-old Theo - the son of two lawyers - knows the criminal justice system. Terrified that he'll never see April again, he begins his own investigation.
But as the days drag on with no new leads, Theo starts to think the police are chasing the wrong person. Can he hunt down the truth and find his friend - or is it really too late?

Critic reviews

Praise for THEODORE BOONE:

Not since Nancy Drew has a nosy, crime-obsessed kid been so hard to resist.

Gripping... I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery. I think everyone will be enthralled by Theodore Boone.

There's a new kid on the young fiction block, and this one really does have serious powers: Theodore Boone, half-boy, half-lawyer... fans will be pleased to know there will be more of Theo's adventures to come.

If you aspire to turn your children into lawyers who will keep you in your old age, John Grisham's Theodore Boone, his first novel for young people, might be for you.

Contemporary lit for young readers has its icons: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl. Make way for the new kid on the block.

Praise for John Grisham:

Nobody does legal fiction better.

A master of his craft.

Great short story

Grisham tells a nice story about a child prodigy lawyer, good characters and a nice introduction to Grisham suitable for younger readers also

A young adventure

A good read for a child, but John Grisham has a lot more to offer to adults
