A Mysterious Review of The Scandal by John Grisham. A Theodore Boone Novel.
Review summary: For a series about a "teen lawyer", Teddy Boone actually does no lawyering here. Indeed, he's more of a bystander watching the action around him. This isn't necessarily a bad entry, but it could have been a much better one with a little more action by the series lead and a little more substance to the story.
