The ultimate super kid scenario did bring a little bit of laughter yet it’s alright. ‘Daddy lawyer, mummy lawyer, uncle lawyer and I wanna be a lawyer so My playground is the courthouse, my friends are lawyers and judges’. It reminded me of a certain family I was acquainted with and such kids do exist in real world.
I have enjoyed really much reading the walking of the applicant kid lawyer. I must recognize one thing, and it is that John Grisham, (whom i discover thanks to m father) write rather well, and he told fascinaiting stories about trials. In this case he manages to give to his main character the gift that the reader gets on with this character.
Judge Gantry: A highly respected judge in Strattenburg, and was the judge of the Duffy murder trial. He quite frankly adored Theo, and will always do anything for him. Peter Duffy: Wealthy man who lived in Waverly Creek. He was the husband of Myra Duffy, and suspected of killing her.
Most likely, she was going to stay with her mother, even though she didn't want to live with anyone in her family. Ike Boone: Theo's uncle. Ike was a former lawyer who had started the Boone & Boone Firm. He was a tax lawyer, who was disbarred after his did something wrong. Julio Pena: Theo's friend from school.
He was considered a slob at the Boone & Boone firm because of his untidiness in his office. April Finnemore: Theo's best friend. April had gone through some rough times. Both parents filed for a divorce, and she had to choose which one she was going to live with.
His cousin was a witness in the murder trial that was going on, so he asked Theo for help and advice of what to do. Bobby Escobar: Julio's cousin. Bobby worked at the Waverly Creek golf course, where he witnessed a man go into the house of Mr. and Mrs. Duffy, and coming back out 10 minutes later.

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.

Grisham does a great job of taking his great law drama style and putting it on the level of a young adult (ages 8-16 IMO). In an unobtrusive way, he explains any of the technical aspects of law that are critical to the plot.
