What to expect
THEODORE BOONE'S town is under threat, from a group of corrupt men planning to build a freeway bypass and destroy countless homes.
Now thirteen-year-old Theo - the schoolboy lawyer destined for the courtroom - must stand up for his city and stop them. But soon the fight turns nasty, and Theo and his friends face a giant battle against the underhand crooks.
And when Theodore uncovers a terrible secret - a secret he's discovered illegally - he is torn.
Should Theo stop the shady developers from breaking the law by breaking it himself?
