Book #36 - Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer by John Grisham

I can't describe to you the excitement yesterday when I opened the mailbox and Amazon had delivered this book. I was thrilled. Though it was very suspicious that the book was smaller that Grisham's other books, it took a little investigating to discover that this books is written for a middle school aged child. With that being said, it was fantastic. I was captivated, and like reading Harry Potter, I did not feel that this book was boring or dull because it was written at a reading level below what I'm used to. John Grisham has proven once again that he is a dynamic and risky writer. I have always contended that his best books are his non-lawyer books, but now I'm not so sure that he isn't a children's author. This book rivals Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. I could envision my 13 year old self devouring a book like this. This is just the type of book that can really get kids interested in reading. I am continually and pleasantly surprised by John Grisham. He is a true artist. Always growing and testing new waters with his talents. I'm sure this book will inspire more than one young man or lady to be lawyers one day.
