First line in the book: The abduction of April Finnemore took place in the dead of night, sometime between 9:15pm, when she last spoke with Theo Boone, and 3:30am, when her mother entered her bedroom and realized she was gone.
Hardback blurb: Theodore Boone is back in a new adventure, and the stakes are higher than ever.
When his best friend, April, disappears from her bedroom in the middle of the night, no one, not even Theo Boone - who knows April better than anyone - has answers.
As fear ripples through his small hometown and the police hit dead ends, it's up to Theo to use his legal knowledge and investigative skills to chase down the truth and save April.
Filled with the page-turning suspense that makes John Grisham a number one international bestseller and the undisputed master of the legal thriller, Theodore Boone's trials and triumphs will keep readers guessing until the very end.
The Abduction (2011) is a sequel to Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer (2010).
What a cool trailer:
My brief take: As usual, The Abduction is suitable reading for anyone, most notably young readers. This time round, I did not think it appealed to me much mainly because the writing is too young for me, too easy, too high school. If I were decades younger, I guess it would be a different story. Not as good as the first Theodore Boone book which I liked very much. I think I will be hanging my hat up on this series. However, I will still recommend it to young readers because it is a pretty good inspiring story for them. The next Theodore Boone book (Book 3), The Accused, will be released in May of 2012 so do look out for it.
Take time to read.
Rating: 3/5
