Juvenile Fiction. Mystery. Humor (Fiction.) Quid Pro Quo is a high-stakes, fast-moving legal thriller about real people, and funny ones at that. Cyril MacIntyre's mother is an ex-street kid who dragged her son to all her law-school classes, then proceeded to get kidnapped. That aside, Cyril's life isn't too different from that of other thirteen-year-olds. He has all the usual adolescent issues to deal with: parent problems, self-esteem problems, skin and hair problems, and girl problems. But he has legal problems too. And he's got to solve them if he wants to save his mother's life. Quid Pro Quo won the Arthur Ellis Award and the cbc Young Canada Reads 2009 award. It has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Edgar Allan Poe and the Ann Connor Brimer. This 2018 edition has been updated with a new cover.… (lisätietoja)

This is my third read of books by Vicki Grant and it's definitely the best. If you liked Grisham's Theodore Boone novels for young adults you will probably like this as well. (

I loved this story. It was funny and face-paced and quirky. The title of each chapter is a legal term and it's definition, setting the reader up for what's coming up. Cyril is a resourceful young adult and manages to stay off the foster home radar while looking for his kidnapped mother who is a lawyer. Cyril knows quite a bit about law as he attended law school with his mom (no babysitter available) and helped her study for her tests. Now he uses his knowledge to search for her. Sometimes he goes above the law (or below it), but he gets things accomplished. It is fun and goofy and will having you cheering for Cyril and his friends. (

This was a fun read. Certainly, the first in a long while that I had trouble putting down. Cyril is a 13-year-old ersatz sleuth. His mother goes missing under mysterious circumstances, but thanks to having attended her law school classes with her, he's up to the challenge. With a delightful narrative voice, Vicki Grant has done an excellent job drawing wonderful engaging characters and making me care about them. (

QUID PRO QUO is a cute, fast-paced novel about Cyril, the somewhat clueless son of a plucky teenage mom. Through exposure to his mom's law studies, Cyril comes to think he has enough skills and knowledge to find his mother when she disappears. Cyril is not your typical amateur detective, but this lighthearted introduction to the genre will appeal to middle-grade readers: lots of comedy, a few "gross" moments, and a happy ending. Although the protagonist is thirteen, I'd recommend this book to readers who are eight to twelve. (

I received a free ARC of this book through the LTER give-away in exchange for my honest opinion. First off, I must have missed the fact that this book is considered a "young adult" book, which was quite a surprise. However, it was still an interesting concept to read how a "wimpy" teenage boy is using the knowledge he acquired by "attending" law school with his mother to get her out of a dangerous and confusing situation. I especially loved the headings of each chapter, which explained the meaning of many legal terms! (
