About this ebook

"Not since Nancy Drew has a nosy, crime-obsessed kid been so hard to resist." —The New York Times
 
Thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone thought the danger had passed, but he’s about to face off against an old adversary: accused mur­derer and fugitive Pete Duffy. 

On a field trip to Washington, DC, Theo spots a familiar face on the Metro: Duffy, who jumped bail and was never seen again. Theo’s quick thinking helps bring Duffy back to Strattenburg to stand trial. But now that Duffy knows who he is, Theo is in greater danger than he’s ever been in before. Even when every­thing is on the line, Theodore Boone will stop at nothing to make sure a killer is brought to justice.
 
This smart, fast-paced legal thriller for young readers is the newest adventure for clever and determined kid lawyer Theo Boone.

Ratings and reviews

Sorry, I wouldn't recommend this as an adult book. Well below the storytelling level of John Grisham. As a young adult maybe, 6th or 7th grade. Regret the purchase .I didn't know Grisham wrote serial young adult books. My bad.

It was really good as we're most of the Boone family books. I am looking forward to finding out more about Pete Duffy's revenge

Not worth the time or the money. One good laugh in the entire book, not at all the usual Grisham. I don't even know about the message in this one. Very lame.
