Wikipedia has everything!  This website can show you anything you would want to know about my book.  It gives the plot summary and any other part of the book you would need.

This website is really cool because you can watch the trailer for the book.  It is really exciting to see it in video rather than words.  I really liked this video and i hope you do too.

www.inmagine.com/searchterms/court_room.html

This website shows pretty much the whole setting whenever it comes to the courtroom.  There is the seat in which the judge sits on and the general public as well as the jury.  I really like how these photos represent the setting of my book.

This website is almost perfect whenever it comes to the setting.  This site contains over 1,000 photos of courtrooms and everything inside them.  I hope you can get an image for the setting by looking over these pictures.

I really like this site because it contains a book review but it really goes in depth on the author as well.  John Grisham is a very good author when it comes to writing children type books like this one.  The writer of this site tells how the main events happen but in a really funny way and he describes the book as "flat", i dont agree.

This website contains all of the bestseller books that John Grisham, the author of my book, has written.  If you scroll down you will find my book.  There is some pictures and information on Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer.

After reading my book, you will have to read the sequal.  This site contains lots of information regarding the second book in this series.  I cant wait to read it myself.

http://www.amazon.com/Theodore-Boone-Lawyer-John-Grisham/dp/0525423842

This site is amazing because you can actually buy the book on this site.  Amazon is a great place to buy books and then you get it in the mail.  Im considering buying this book after we start the next one so that my family can read it too!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge

This site should be used to identify the significance of the different types of jobs that are involved in court.  This one describes what the judges do, and it is important to know before reading Theodore Boone Kid Lawyer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtroom

I really like this site because it gives all of the information needed about who sits where in the courtroom.  For example, the judge is in the middle and explains why the defendant is guilty just like in my book.  Knowing background information from this site is very helpful.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial

Knowing the description of a trial is pretty much the key to this book.  The main point of the book is trying to figure out if this man is guilty or innocent via a trial.  Theodore uses his skills as a young detective to figure this out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States

One of the most important characters is an illegal immigrant.  That is someone who is not legally a citizen of the united states and isn't supposed to be here.  In the book he is a key witness but if his name is said, he will go to jail!

http://nycourts.gov/lawlibraries/glossary.shtml

This site defines and shows the use of all of the legal terms that are mentioned in this book.  Knowing these would be very beneficial to understanding the full meaning and outcome of the events that happen during the story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawyer

This website shows exactly what lawyers do.  Because Theo's parents are both lawyers, this is a great site to surf to find information about lawyers.  This is also good because lawyer is in the title!

This trailer is perfect for showing the main points of the book.  Even though it was done by a fifth grader, you can still identify the characters and summary.  If you get confused with the story, watch the trailer to help.

This summary is perfect for explaining everything there is to know about this book.  The writer of this summary included everything .  If you dont know if you want to read this book, read this summary and you will probably want to read it.

This biography about the author of Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer, John Grisham, really helps you get to know the point of view and writing style that he uses in his books.  I really liked reading about his life in this biography.  Now i want to read more books written by him!

 

http://www.criminal-law-lawyer-source.com/terms/murder.html

 

The really cool thing about this website is that you really get to see the consequences for murder which is exactly what happens in the story.  I really like this site because it tells you everything that you need to know about the different types and how much time you get in prison.  Look at this site for information about murder and murder trials.
