John Grisham

Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer, was a good book.  I like the author’s style of writing.  The book was a very easy read.  It is really written for readers as young as 8.  The best part about the book was that the author explained a lot about the court process and different legal situations.  I am sure he gets into even more depth in his adult novels.  I highly recommend this author, especially if you like reading about drama and suspense in connection with the legal system.  To help you out, I have a list of the author’s works and the dates they were published:
