Book description
Half the man, twice the lawyer. 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 he 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. John
Grisham is the author of twenty-two novels, one work of non-fiction, and
one collection of short stories. His works are translated into
thirty-eight languages. He lives in Virginia and Mississippi.
