Who is Theo Boone??


One of the benefits of perusing the exhibitor booths at TLA was getting bags full of giveaway and pre-publication books!  One I was very excited to get was Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer by John Grisham.  The first in a series of mysteries for teens and tweens, it begins the story of Theo, a son-to-be kid lawyer.  If I can manage to finish Graveminder by Melissa Marr (I am reading it at night in bed, and therefore have read the same page four times before falling asleep each night), this will be the next book I read.
I came across The official Theodore Boone web site today, which is full of simple fun. While there, explore the main office, where you can preview teaser trailers, view case-related photos and personnel files, read about the author and even read an excerpt of the book from chapter one. Be sure to make your way to the courtroom, where you can generate your own complaints and read about odd laws still in effect.
Although there are a few teaser trailers on the official site, I also recommend these short trailers and also, a Penguin Audio Book Break preview, from the first chapter.  Enjoy!


As an added bonus, Theodore Boone 2: The Abduction, comes out June 6, 2011.
