So I'm on a mystery mission & have started basic informational questions for "Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer." It's a challenge to find mysteries that aren't saturated with crime or negativity. The document I created is largely intended for teachers (4th-6th grade) and is a starting place for discussion questions or to make up a workbook. If you can't open the document through 4shared, let me know in a comment and I'd be happy to email it for use. I appreciated how "Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer" contained a lot of background on the court system and defining of legal terms. The story did end quickly, and it leaves the desire of a sequel. Yet in many ways, I think this book serves as a good learning experience.
Pick a Friend! My daughter likes this quote so much she bought a Nook cover with it's original verbage. The premise in this title is in realizing that behind what we read is an actual person - and it's good to choose carefully +++what enters our hearts, souls and minds.

My son and I got the book from a friend. My 9-year-old son read it in one day. He states he "loved the depth, the intelligence and how they didn't leave anything out." He also remarks that he liked the cliff-hanger aspect. He feels this is a good book for "mature readers from 9-15." He defines mature as someone who "is not afraid of a murder mystery and is willing to process some legal facts." He feels it's a good choice for readers who liked Percy Jackson, The Red Pyramid and Harry Potter.
