Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer was an interesting mystery novel filled with suspense. The main characters were Theo Boone, an eighth grader who dreams of being a lawyer, Ike Boone, Woods Boone's brother, Woods Boone, Theo Boone's father, Judge Gantry, a criminal judge, Julio Pena, an immigrant from El Savador that goes to the same school as Theo,and Bobby Escobar, a phantom witness and Julio's cousin. The biggest crime in Strattenburg attracted lots of attention. It was said that the defendant was guilty of murdering his wife. The defendant had a good lawyer and the state didn't have any evidence or witnesses to prove him guilty when he really was. Theo had his peers come to him time to time to ask him for legal advice. One day, Julio came to him and told him that Bobby was eating lunch on the day of the murder and at the time of the murder and saw the defendant going into his house. The defendant put on his golf gloves and came out soon and drove away. Bobby's identity could not be revealed because he was an illegal immigrant. Then soon, Julio came back with the gloves that the defendant had thrown away on the day of the crime. Bobby was a cusodian at the golf course and was cleaing the trash bins when he was the defendant throwing away perfectly good and new golf gloves away into trashcan bin fourteen. Bobby thought that was suspicious and took the gloves to Theo. Eventually, Theo went to Ike and asked him for advice. He said he'll do what he can. Soon Theo convinced Bobby that he wouldn't be arrested for not having papers. He told his parents and Judge Gantry what happened. Judge Gantry held back the mistrial to a later week and now there was a new witness that would expose the truth.
(The end of the trial was not given away for some reason.)
