Well Done!!

Theo is a great character, and after 5 episodes, I can't imagine anyone else narrating this series. It's an awesome way to introduce a young audience to courtroom drama.

Another hit for for Theo Boone

Would you listen to Theodore Boone: The Fugitive again? Why?

Continues the story well. Love the characters and the heart of the book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of the characters are interesting, but Theo is my favorite. Well written and its good to have a positive young person featured in literature.

Which scene was your favorite?

I loved the descriptive writing about Washington D.C. The trivia about the Ford Theater was great.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Theo gets his man - again!

Any additional comments?

Great series, written for kids, but enjoyable for a middle 40's pastor/dad. I have a couple of Theo Boone's in my house - brilliant minds who like doing the right things - and these books make me smile.

Law has application for all. Young and old...__:

Theo is far from being average, but his youth is tempered from being the son of loving parents who love the laws that govern our free contry. Wisdom of one so young is rare and due honor.

Great light read!

Fun read for Theodore Boone fans. As usual Theodore finds adventure in his typical, kid lawyer, over-the-top way!

Great book for the whole family very educational

It's a great story and a great character. Also a great way to learn about the law profession in the trial process. Also a little history to go with it. Highly recommend for the whole family. Our kids ages seven through 14 all loved it.
