(All images and reviews uploaded from Red Cedar Book Award site)“I started going to law school when I was ten years old.”
What Cyril MacIntyre means is that he was dragged to all his mom’s law school classes, helped her cram for exams, and hung out at her first law office. Cyril has all the usual adolescent issues to deal with: single parent, and skin, hair, and girl problems. Then creepy Byron moves into their place. Byron keeps hinting to Cyril’s mom about her past when she was a street kid, and seems to have some kind of hold over her. Then his mom disappears and Cyril has to become a spy, a lawyer and a negotiator. It’s a good thing he was paying attention when she was studying because his knowledge of the law just might save his mom’s life.
