New York Times Best Selling Author, John Grisham is best recognized by his blockbuster hits, A Time to Kill and The Firm. Often deriving his characters and plot lines from real-life criminal cases, his stories have the conviction and appeal to even persuade the youngest of readers. In his first-ever children’s book, THEODORE BOONE: KID LAWYER, he tells the story of a 13 year old boy, Theo Boone, and his dreams of cracking cases, searching for evidence, and solving crimes in the courtroom.

We sat down with John Grisham to discuss the inspiration behind Theodore Boone, his own early influences, and “what’s next” for this courageous, young lawyer.
