Thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone knows every judge, police officer, and court clerk in Strattenburg. He has even helped bring a fugitive to justice. But even a future star lawyer like Theo has to deal with statewide standardized testing.

When an anonymous tip leads the school board to investigate a suspicious increase in scores at another local middle school, Theo finds himself thrust in the middle of a cheating scandal. With insider knowledge and his future on the line, Theo must follow his keen instincts to do what’s right in the newest case for clever kid lawyer Theo Boone.

    One of John Grisham's poorer reads. A 13 year old boy who's pretending to be a lawyer. I'm sorry I purchased he book. Boring is the best thing I can say.

    As an adult, I found this book very interesting. Only John Grisham can take it boring topic and make it interesting. If they only have these books 45+ years ago, I think I would've picked up reading at a much younger age. I can totally understand why the younger children these days are following John Grisham and the Theodore Boone series.
