Grisham writes for kids

By Mike Lawson// KidsLit, News // No Comments

Legal-novelist John Grisham sold a two-book series for children to Penguin Young Readers Group, according to Publisher’s Weekly.

The first book is titled Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer and is about a 13-year-old that gets involved in a big murder trial in his town. It will be released on May 25th here in the U.S.

The second book is scheduled for release sometime in 2011.
KidsLit has always been a money maker, and it’s interesting to see how authors like James Patterson and John Grisham do in this new market.
