And many books for adults.
Summary: Kate was just a normal girl who lived in 1973.
Normal, except for the fact that she had the credentials to
be a lawyer. But, as if being a girl in a man's profession isn't
hard enough, she's fourteen, and no one will give her any
cases. When an old woman's dog, Herman is going to be
put down, or "Destroyed" for, allegedly, hurting a baby,
Kate steps in to help.
Rating: I give this book a 2. (Remember on my scale that
doesn't mean 'bad'.)
Awards: None.
Opinion: This is an awesome book, based on the themes of
protecting the innocent and believing in yourself, no matter
the obstacles. Despite those lofty ideas, this book is not boring
as paste, or so sweet you need to put the book down from
nausea. Plus all legal terms are explained. Kate's so... normal
that you can't help but love her. She's daring, and definitely
the devil's advocate, which helps her in the courtroom. She's
not afraid of dirty work. She has a crush on her friend, Mike,
and struggles to get over the death of her father and brother.
Basically, because of Kate Hope, this book is ruled in favor of
Kate, by me! (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun!)
