Book Review:
This is a simplified version of John Grisham's popular legal thriller ''The Client,'' published as Level 4 (Intermediate - 1700 words) in the Penguin Readers series. The story follows eleven-year-old Mark Sway, who knows a terrible secret: the location of a hidden body. Some secrets are so dangerous that it's better not to tell, but keeping the secret is just as dangerous. After witnessing a lawyer's suicide, Mark becomes the only one who knows where a murdered senator is buried. Now both the Mafia and the FBI want the information, and Mark's life is in danger. He needs help, and he needs it fast. Enter Reggie Love, a street-smart lawyer who specializes in children. This fast-paced thriller keeps readers on the edge of their seats while helping intermediate English learners develop their reading skills.
