Last month I posted about John Grisham’s debut children’s novel—Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer—and today we have a little more information. Dutton released an excerpt from the novel as a PDF, which you can view here.
I took a quick look, and from what I’ve read, it’s no wonder 13-year-old Theo wants to be a lawyer (or a judge; he hasn’t decided yet). . . his mom and his dad are lawyers, and he has a dog named Judge! His favorite building in town is the courthouse, “where lawyers battled like gladiators and judges ruled like kings.” In the opening scene, Theo comforts a friend whose parents are going through a divorce, and then he manages to convince a judge to let his class have guaranteed seats in the balcony for the opening day of a big trial. Not bad for a morning before school!
The book will be out May 25. . . will you read?

Hey there, great post! I realize this is off topic, however I really like your template layout. I just ended law school and am hoping to launch my personal site. Will you mind if I utilize your theme? Otherwise, can you suggest a nice website to find one similar to it?
