Quid Pro Quo by Vicki Grant

Quid Pro Quo by Vicki Grant

I started going to law school when I was ten years old. I love saying that. I love how people look at me like this guy must be some kind of genius. It's true, too. Well, like, sort of true anyway. I hated law school, but if I hadn't spent three years of my life there, I wouldn't have known anything about fraud, blackmail or the principle of equity. In other words, I wouldn't have known what I needed to know to save my mother's life. Cyril MacIntyre's mother is an ex-street kid who drags her son to all her law school classes, then proceeds to get herself kidnapped. That aside, Cyril's life isn't all that different from other kids' lives. He has all the usual adolescent issues to deal with: parent problems, self-esteem problems, skin, hair and girl problems. He just has legal problems too. And he's got to solve them if he wants to save his mother's life.

Vicki Grant is the author of seventeen books including 36 Questions That Changed My Mind About You (which has sold to seventeen countries and has been optioned for film), The Puppet Wrangler, Quid Pro Quo, Dead-End Job and Not Suitable for Family Viewing.
