Attorney, politician, activist and American novelist, John Grisham is best known for his legal thrillers. John Grisham as a child dreamed of being a professional baseball player. After graduating from law school at Ole Miss in 1981, he went on to practice law for nearly a decade, specialising in criminal defence and personal injury litigation. One day, Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987. His next novel, The Firm, spent 47 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Since then, he has written one novel a year, including The Client, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker and The Runaway Jury. Today, Grisham has written a collection of stories, a work of non-fiction, three sports novels, five kids' books, and many legal thrillers. His work has been translated into 42 languages. He lives near Charlottesville, Virginia. https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/books/author/john-grisham?utm_source=RedEye&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20211019_Author_JohnGrisham_UK List courtesy of 'Askews and Holts' Dorset Libraries welcome donations of any of the titles listed.

All of our libraries have been running the Summer Reading Challenge, and this year the theme was Wild World Heroes. We had a record 784 new members, and over 4500 children who signed up for the challenge, and it was the 6 year old age group that earned the most certificates and medals by reading all 6 books for the challenge. STALBRIDGE LIBRARY RESULTS After a miss last year we were pleased to welcome children back to take part in the Nationwide Reading Challenge. Based on our ‘Wild World Heroes” this inspired many children to take books from the Library. We are very pleased to note that 94% of our entrants gained a gold medal and many are now looking forward to being presented with their certificates in school. Our congratulations to all who took part.
