Compelling

John did it again. always a gripping story. the realism makes it a great read.

Great Series!

Love this series…clean content, and Richard Thomas’ reading is superb. Not sure it would be quite the same if read by anyone else.

Cheating never pays.

Another installment of the kid lawyer, Theodore Boone. Grisham points out problems with standardized testing to determine future of students as well as teachers. It is sad teachers can no longer practice the art of teaching and instead have to teach for the tests.

A great book

This is a amazing book that teaches kids about law how interesting it was and this is a great book

Almost a judge!

In this story the happenings are almost too much like a Hallmark movie, but still enjoyable, an easy listening story in an unHallmark world. The story part in animal court are always a Hoot!
