Quid Pro Quo

by Vicki Grant

Orca Book Publishers | April 1, 2005 | Trade Paperback

Quid Pro Quo is a high-stakes, fast-moving legal thriller about real people, and funny people at that. Cyril MacIntyre''s mother is a twenty-eight-year-old 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 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, 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.

Quid Pro Quo is the winner of the Arthur Ellis Award and the CBC Young Canada Reads 2009 award. It has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Edgar Allan Poe Award and the Ann Connor Brimer Award.

    Grant's books have been a saviour. I have two somewhat reluctant readers who devoured all her books. If anyone has recommendations for similar reads please send them along!

    My daughter, a prolific but fussy reader, has read this book yearly over the last several years, enjoying it at a different level each time. She read it first at 9 and now at 13 I noticed she's picked it up yet again. We've read aloud, as a family, another of Vicki Grant's books "the Puppet Wrangler" and all of us loved it's humour and clever story. WIsh more J books were this well written and smart.

    Quid Pro Quo is a book full of cliff hangers. I read this book in a lit circle and if I wasn't doing it in a lit circle I would of read the whole book in one night! The book is about a 13 year old boy whose mother gets kidnaped and he has to get her back. This book's cover may make you not want read , but hey don't judge a book by it's cover. If you haven't read this book you have to go to you're nearest book store or library and READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!
