In an age when kids are thought to be interested only in video games and apps on their smart devices, a few writers are producing works that may reverse this trend. “Theodore Boone: The Accomplice” is a fun, easy read that comes across as inspirational. Read on to get a feel for why I like this story, and what might have made it even better., When I purchased “Theodore Boone,” I failed to notice it was a story written for kids. Consequently, the opening chapter was a disappointment for me, until I discovered the book was written for kids in third grade through seventh grade. As I adjusted to this knowledge I came to ralize how brilliant the author is. What I mean is, although written for kids, Grisham does not talk down to them. Rather than talking down, Grisham lifts them up towards adulthood., BLUSH FACTOR:, No cursing and no ‘adult’ situations, either in terms of violence or romance. A few teens might find that disappointing, but the target age group will be okay with it. In fact, I also own the Audible edition and “Theodore Boone: The Accomplice,” would be a great selection for educators looking for a professionally narrated novel for their students., WRITING & EDITING: First rate writing and editing. I especially appreciate the appeal to the reader’s imagination, rather than it being a text that tries so hard to paint each scene. Grisham provides just enough detail to stimuilate the reader to fill in his or her own blanks., POV: This is written in third person point of view., BOTTOM LINE:, Four stars out of five.

One night a close friend of his and his older brother hook up with a friend of the older brother and go cruising and have a couple beers. When they run out of beer, the oldest boy robs a convenience store using a water pistol. They are caught by the police, taken into custody for for armed robbery. The oldest boy is out of jail in ours, while Tony &, Woody languiisdh in jail for days. Theo organizes a fund raising drive to raise enough money to pay a bail bondsman, but the drama comes in the trial. The high priced lawyer for the oldest boy offers a “deal” where already partially guilty. Don Tony & Woody go along? What do they do with the Public Defender who wants them to take the deal. He’s not interested in the case and has been mentioned as a future position with the high priced lawyer., This book is comparable to the previous five books in the “Theodore Boone, KId Lawyer” series in that it’s written for a junior high audience. I read them because they are an escape from some of the more serious reading that I do. Without hesitation, I recommend this to people of all ages.

This is the first review I’ve written on any book, but worth my time for certain. My daughter is an advanced reader. She is 8. I have a hard time finding books that are advanced enough to keep her attention, but not so advanced that she shouldn’t be reading them. This series was perfect for her and she is now a huge fan of John Grisham. She read the Harry Potter series when she was in second grade. This was the first time she enjoyed any series as much as the HP series, even though they are completely different in every way. At first, she was nervous of the titles. But once she started book 1 she couldn’t stop. She finished all 4 books in less than 3 weeks. Highly, Highly, Highly recommend. GET ALL 4!!!

I love the interest Theo has in the justice system and his knowledge of it. It’s not just a book for the youth. Mature readers can be caught up in the account and get intellectually involved. Very interesting side story about the troubling rabbit. I suggest every age group can enjoy this book.

I made the mistake of ordering two of the Boone series before I realized it was written for kids in the 10-15 year old range. The book description claims it’s for a new generation of readers, which means “kids”. Had I understood what this really meant, I would NOT have bought them.
