Thirteen-year-old Theodore Boone, who knows every
judge, police officer, and court clerk in the small town of
Strattenburg, finds himself involved in a murder trial because of
knowledge he might have about a cold-blooded killer. "(image and description from titlewave.com)
This is an engaging page-turner choice for middle school students. It portrays a motivated kid with loving but distracted parents who allow Theo to pursue his passion for law. The story conveys values of compassion, communication, trust, and justice.
