Welcome to Shoe Town – and meet Ruby and Bear Foot.
They are running out of time to rescue their inventor dad from his hideous boss, Wendy Wedge. She'll do anything to win the glitzy Golden Shoe Award and knows that entering flying shoes is her hot ticket to the trophy. Flying shoes that Ruby and Bear just happen to be hiding ...
Get ready for a gadget-packed, wedge-of-your-feet adventure like no other!
'Following up a best-selling series like Tom Gates is no easy feat, but Liz Pichon does so in huge style in Shoe Wars [...] Bursting with imagination and fabulous gadgets, Shoe Wars is full of Pichon's characteristic warmth, humour and quirky illustrations.'
Bookseller
'As with the Tom Gates books, every page here is dynamic and attention-grabbing, packed with cartoons and typeface trickery.'
Financial Times
'Shoe Wars is an exciting story with lively characters that offer plenty of laughs.'
Books for Keeps
'Joanna Scanlan's spirited delivery complements this action-packed story about shoe tycoon Wendy Wedge and her bullying son, Walter. Listeners will meet the fascinating and ingenious Foot family – Ruby, Bear, and dad, Ivor. An annual competition for the Golden Shoe Award – usually won by a Wedge – is underway. When Ruby and Bear realize their dad's flying shoes (sure to win the big prize) have been stolen, they secretly search for them. Scanlan excels with ingenious shoe-related wordplay, the Wedges' nastiness, and the Foots' earnestness. Chapters are called sizes and movingly cover serious topics such as big business vs. small business. The climax makes for a gratifying listen for all ages.'
