It's about a 14 year old girl who lost both her father and brother in a tragic accident and wants to become a lawyer like her father. "Judge" Hope,which is Kate's grandfather, had opened a lawfirm with Kate's dad but after his death he was so devasted that he closed it and didn't want to anything to do with the justice system.

After Kate and "Judge" got settled in the cases started. There was a wide variety. Things such as people getting envicted, divorces, and even people accusing people of stealing things!


But there was this one case that really caught my attention..


"The Willow Case or Herman's"
Ms. Willow was at the park having a picnik with her dog herman like she always does in the afternoons. She put a spike in the ground to keep Herman from going anywhere while she went and got some popcorn to feed the ducks. While on her way these two boys ran into her and knocked her down. When she got back up, she noticed that Herman was gone! He was no where to be seen. Then everything got out of hands.The dog pound had taken her Herman away. Ms. Willow had came to Kate with her case as soon as it happened. She told her that the city wanted to destroy Herman because he had bitten a baby!


As if that wasnt a big enough problem "Judge" Hope while in the courtroom passed out and was now in the hospital very ill. So Kate was on her own.


Can Kate be a good lawyer and help Ms. Willow? Will Herman get destoryed? Is "Judge" Hope okay?

I personally really enjoyed reading this book. In the beginning i thought it'd be some boring law story but it was actually very interesting. I couldn't set it down! I'd find myself thinking about it at random times. Wondering how everything would turn out. So if you like books that hold your attention, make you think and wonder, then this is the book for you!
