A young legal enthusiast pulled into a murder trial

Thirteen-year-old Theo Boone knows the people and procedures of Strattenburg’s legal world and imagines a future in the courtroom. That knowledge becomes consequential when he is drawn into a murder trial where, according to the description, he alone knows information that could affect whether the accused killer goes free. The setup brings together a child’s interest in law, the workings of a trial, and a question of justice. The book is the first in the Theodore Boone series, placing Theo’s courtroom ambitions and involvement in a criminal case at the center of a juvenile legal thriller.

Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Discover the riveting legal thriller series for young readers that's been hailed as "classic Grisham" (Los Angeles Times)!

"Not since Nancy Drew has a nosy, crime-obsessed kid been so hard to resist."--The New York Times

In the small city of Strattenburg, there are many lawyers, and though he's only thirteen years old, Theo Boone thinks he's one of them. Theo knows every judge, policeman, court clerk--and a lot about the law. He dreams of being a great trial lawyer, of a life in the courtroom.

But Theo finds himself in court much sooner than expected. Because he knows so much--maybe too much--he is suddenly dragged into the middle of a sensational murder trial. A cold-blooded killer is about to go free, and only Theo knows the truth.

The stakes are high, but Theo won't stop until justice is served.
