Synopses

Theodore Boone

Theo would rather be in court than in homeroom, and the biggest murder trial in his city is about to begin. As a husband stands accused of killing his wife, Theo uncovers a surprise witness with secrets of his own. Sworn to silence and racing against time, Theo must find a way to ensure justice is done.

The Abduction

Theo’s best friend April vanishes overnight, and suspicion falls on an escaped convict who refuses to talk. Knowing the criminal justice system through his lawyer parents, Theo starts investigating himself. With no leads emerging, he begins to believe the police are pursuing the wrong person.

The Accused

Theo’s passion for justice is tested when stolen property is found in his locker and he becomes the focus of an investigation. Someone is framing him and damaging his reputation. As the case against him grows, Theo uses his legal knowledge to track down the real thief.

The Activist

Theo’s town is threatened by corrupt men planning a freeway bypass that would destroy homes. Determined to stop them, Theo finds the fight turning increasingly nasty. When he uncovers a secret illegally, he must decide whether to break the law to prevent others from doing the same.

The Fugitive

On a class trip to the capital, Theo unexpectedly spots Strattenberg, the most wanted man in his home town’s history. Pulled into the hunt for an accused murderer alongside the FBI, Theo realises the danger is escalating. If the case returns to court, Theo may be central to what happens next.

The Scandal

With exams looming, Theo’s week worsens when a major scandal is revealed by his best friend April. After April makes a choice Theo advises against, the situation explodes into the news. With futures at risk and April frightened, Theo looks for a way to undo the damage.

The Accomplice

Woody Lambert is arrested after being in a car when Garth holds up a convenience store with a fake gun. Although Woody had no involvement beyond being present, he is charged as an accomplice. With family troubles and school struggles already weighing on him, he needs serious legal advice to avoid juvenile prison.
