Description:
Sawyer the ant is the hero of the day in case after case, each one introducing a legal concept in a fun way. Can a snail beat a speeding ticket? With the right lawyer, justice will be done!
Author Robin Newman was a lawyer before she started writing children's books, and she brings the two experiences together in this humorous series about justice in the animal world. She has partnered before with Deborah Zemke in the award-winning Wilcox & Griswold Mysteries books. Now the two are back with another fun series, full of humor and groan-worthy puns.

Review Quotes:
"Along with learning about courtroom procedures and evidence as well as mediation and other legal terms, readers will get eye-opening glimpses of a responsible lawyer at work both in and out of court. . . . A rare portrayal of an often-denigrated profession, replete with puns and positive messages."--Kirkus Reviews
