“Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer” by John Grisham really got my attention so I Googled for it and most of the reviews I’ve read give it a below-average rating. It seems that Grisham is not yet ready for a younger audience.
Though it has not completely killed my interest, hopefully I could fish a copy from Book Sale or some other used books store.
