Theodore Boone: The Abduction Free Audiobook Download by John Grisham
Theodore Boone: The Abduction tells the story of a brave young lawyer who takes on the powerful and corrupt in his hometown, asking for help from his friends, family and older brother.
The year is 2020. Theodore Boone, a twelve-year-old who has been an orphan since the age of six, wants to be a lawyer. He soon becomes a reluctant hero when he foils the abduction of two young girls by two men in a black SUV.
Theodore Boone is an 11-year-old amateur detective with a precocious intellect. When he is left home alone one day after school, he makes the acquaintance of a stranger who claims to have kidnapped him. Theodore's parents believe the man, Joe Robert Cole, and so does the police department. But Theodore knows better--and convinces them that he's telling the truth. Soon it becomes clear that Cole has killed three teenagers and wants to blame it on Theodore in order not to go to jail for his own murders.
Theodore Boone is an average 15-year-old boy with a boring job, a boring family, and a boring life until he witnesses the abduction of a high-profile lawyer. Theodore's world changes forever. No longer just an average kid, but now his life is in danger. He must work with the wanted lawyer's brother to find her before she is killed and what he learns about the legal system will scare him straight.
The Abduction was narrated by Richard Thomas. He did a great job of capturing Theodore's character, which makes this story interesting because the reader can actually feel what Theodore is feeling as he goes through his adventure.
Theodore Boone is a 13-year old baseball fanatic who has a knack for getting involved in cases, especially those involving the law. When Theodore believes he's stumbled on evidence that his father may have been wrongly imprisoned for murdering a woman, he finds himself up against an endless string of powerful lawyers and ruthless politicians.
