Theodore Boone

Autor John Grisham
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mai 2016

Cum îi explicăm unui copil de 10-13 ani că sistemul de justiție nu este doar un decor de film, ci o realitate care necesită integritate și curaj? Observăm cum John Grisham, maestrul incontestabil al thrillerului juridic, reușește să transpună complexitatea sălii de judecată pe înțelesul tinerilor în Theodore Boone. Ne-a atras atenția premisa neconvențională: Theo nu este un vrăjitor sau un spion, ci un băiat de treisprezece ani care cunoaște codul penal la fel de bine ca pe colegii de clasă. Atunci când prietenul său, Woody Lambert, este arestat pe nedrept ca complice la un jaf, Theo devine singura lui speranță în fața unui sistem care adesea îi ignoră pe cei vulnerabili.

Stilul narativ este alert, dar ancorat într-un realism pragmatic rar întâlnit în beletristica pentru copii. Spre deosebire de mizele fantastice din alte serii, aici tensiunea provine din termene limită, probe și etică. Ca și The Injustice de James Patterson, această lucrare reușește să educe cititorul despre drepturile sale și despre funcționarea societății fără a fi didactică sau plictisitoare. Dacă în lucrările sale pentru adulți, precum The Client sau The Exchange, Grisham explorează latura întunecată și periculoasă a legii, în seria Theodore Boone el alege o perspectivă formativă, punând accent pe puterea cunoașterii și pe importanța de a face ceea ce este corect, chiar și atunci când ești cel mai tânăr om din cameră. Este o experiență de lectură care stimulează gândirea critică și empatia, oferind un model de erou cerebral.

'Not since Nancy Drew has a nosy, crime-obsessed kid been so hard to resist' - New York Times


Woody Lambert is in trouble. He comes from a broken family, suffers bad grades at school and his older brother, Tony, is on probation for a drug offence. When Woody inadvertently gets caught up with Tony and one of his friends, Garth, cruising around Strattenburg in a beaten-up Mustang drinking beer, one thing leads to another and Garth holds up a convenience store with a fake gun.

Though he had no involvement in the crime other than being in Garth's car, Woody is arrested as an accomplice. He's going to need serious legal advice to avoid juvenile prison.

Enter Theodore Boone: after all, Theo has already decided that he will become the best courtroom lawyer in the state. It's just that, at the age of thirteen, Theo is years from being a qualified lawyer - and Woody needs help right now . . .
