Grisham to write kids’ novels
Write a letter to the editor
The judge of the Hook short story contest (oh, and the author of 23 books) has inked a deal with Penguin Young Readers Group to produce a series about“Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer.”Although he made his name with legal thrillers, John Grisham has branched out in recent years with sports novels, short stories, and a work of non-fiction. According to the New York Times, the first in the series will appear in May.
“centered on a precocious amateur lawyer….
the son of two attorneys in a small Southern town.”
Hey Theo,
Good luck, sleuthing is lots of fun, when you’re 13 years old, may you never grow up.

Looking forward to this Mr. Grisham. As a girl, my favorite series was Penrod and Sam by Booth Tarkington, another author of adult literature, who found great success with his children’s series. Wishing you the same.

We have always enjoyed the uniqueness of John Grisham…Southern writer, family man, always mindful of children. His heart for kids and their opportunity to learn and love the game of baseball is well known.
We have children from Schuyler, nearby to his home, who have been blessed by his largesse and kindness.
Writing children’s books are yet another mark of an unusual man.
