This is a terrific series for middle schoolers or elementary school kids with an advanced reading level. The content is pretty mature. Theodore Boone, the first book, is about a murder trial and the suspect is a slimy man suspected of killing his wife. But no more violent than most other books in this age group.
Celeste Martin The Theodore Boone books are definitely for kids, and they are about a murder mystery trial. However, same author, John Grisham, writes other books for adults. Kayla They are aimed towards kids, but I believe adults enjoy them as well.

While there may be kids who will enjoy reading this trial story I expected more from the reviews I'd read. I debated giving this a three because I do think Grisham did a reasonably good job helping kids better understand how trials work.
