Atty At Law - Tim Lockette

Popis produktu

Atticus Peale is desperately trying to save the life of a dog in the animal shelter where she volunteers. And an alligator in the swamp who only allegedly tried to eat a fisherman. Her father named her after his favourite character, a lawyer in a famous book, but everyone calls her Atty, and no one, except her dad, stepmom, and stepbrother, thinks she''s old enough to make a legal case for those who, as Atty points out, can''t speak up for themselves. She''s learning some law basics from her dad, who is defending an illiterate man in town on a murder charge. But when strange occurrences begin to threaten Atty''s efforts, she isn''t sure which is more difficult: coming to the defence of the voiceless, countering the sideways looks she and her biracial family get in their Alabama town, or navigating the social scene of middle school.
